Serena Williams and Venus Williams are undoubtedly two smart cookies of tennis. But, where do they receive their talents from? Known for their brilliance in singles and doubles, Serena and Venus achieved unimaginable feats in tennis. However, their former coach, Rick Macci, has an interesting response to their talent. Referring to the Williams sisters’ genetic legacy in athleticism, Macci reveals how they were destined to be great in their professional lives.

Macci, former coach of the Williams sisters, has shown a soft corner for his pupils. In an exclusive with EssentiallySports, he talked about how lucky Richard Williams and Oracene Price were to have these girls in their lives. “Listen, people have to understand, Richard and Oracene, they hit the genetic jackpot with these two girls. If you notice, their body types were very different. Venus was like an Olympic sprinter, no pun intended, with a racquet in her hand, and Serena was almost, like, built very differently, but they were both big strong fast quick.”

Macci pointed out that Serena and Venus not only invested tons of hard work into their professional lives but also inherited their athletic genes from their parents. He further said that he just helped the sisters find the right tune.

“We know everything is from one ear to another it’s a game of inches mentally so strong and that was kind of baked in double crispy when I got involved at age nine and ten which everybody saw in the movie King Richard. So I just had to put Humpty Dumpty together. I just had to put the technical in the environment and give them the opportunity. They were bulletproof and they changed the game,” Macci said.

The Williams sisters have bagged four individual gold medals in the Olympics, showcasing their unimaginable talent in tennis. While Macci couldn’t hide his happiness regarding his former students, he also gave due credit to Richard Williams for making his daughters successful.

Rick Macci revealed the Williams sisters’ father as one of the main driving forces behind his daughters’ success

In February, Macci took his official X platform and revealed the nature of Serena and Venus Williams’ father Richard Williams to explain how his support helped his daughters win big titles. “The Number One thing I loved about the Man on a Mission, my best friend (at times) Richard Williams, was Every Single Conversation Every Single Day was about being Number One in Singles. @serenawilliams @Venuseswilliams.“

Macci shares a great bond with Serena and Venus Williams’ father. They met at Macci’s Boca Raton Academy last November. Macci shared a video of him with Richard Williams on his official X platform and wrote, “King Richard and Rick teamed up and it was a mystery, the dynamic duo changed history!!!“

Rick Macci’s revelations show that he will always be proud of his students, Serena and Venus Williams. No matter how many players he coaches, the Williams sisters and their father will remain very special in his heart.
