Venus Williams’ flashback when asked about initial training days

Venus Williams hosted a quiz session with her fans over Instagram. In one of those questions, she was asked about her favorite trick shot.

“I don’t have any trick shots. We never practiced them growing up. My dad was strict. We practiced winning shots lol. The players that hit those shots, put a lot of time into it. It’s not by chance.” she wrote, answering about her father’s way of training them. As we all know, the Williams sisters have learned tennis under the shadow of their father, Richard Williams. Their father trained the iconic duo in their initial days.
