Recently, Trevor White, producer of the movie, spoke on its making. He mentioned certain difficulties they had during the movie’s shooting.

“We had to shoot in between trains moving through because that wasn’t period-specific, but we were really happy with those courts. We knew instantly that the surfaces themselves had a lot of cracks in them and they seemed a little worn down and dated, and that’s truthful to what Venus and Serena grew up playing on.”

Coming to tennis, Serena and Venus have not been seen together for a while. Serena, who is in pursuit of the elusive 24th Grand Slam, was last seen in Wimbledon last year and is yet to make an announcement concerning her comeback.
