Venus Williams became an inspiration for young aspiring players around the world during her prime. The elder Williams sister has won many tournaments, which have enabled her to engage in several charitable ventures throughout her life. Recently, she took part in Lacoste’s venture to bring tennis to areas that are less fortunate, along with their brand ambassador.
Williams joined Lacoste after parting ways with Nike last year. She became the global brand ambassador for the apparel brand and has worked with them ever since. Her recent campaign with them is another sign of their strong partnership.
