Nothing Venus and Serena Williams have accomplished is as solid as their bond. Nothing stood in the way of their sisterly relationship, despite the fact that they had achieved a lot as athletes and were rivals on the tennis court. And on occasion, they both expressed their affection for one another in unique ways.
Additionally, poking fun at each other is another way for them to show their affection. On one such occasion, the 41-year-old American tennis legend perpetrated a small practical joke on her older sister a few years ago. Let’s take a look at the prank that made Venus pause for a moment.

Nevertheless, years after that incident, a fan page reshared the moment from the same session on Instagram, pointing out what went wrong. While the 43-year-old tennis star was all set to have an amazing workout session with her younger sister, the 23-time Grand Slam champion had other plans in mind. She kept a stand-in doll in her position while Venus gave Serena her own time to get ready, as she was waiting patiently for her.
After waiting for a brief period, the former tennis legend suddenly jumps in front of the camera and shocked her sister. It led to a hilarious reaction from the seven-time Grand Slam champion.

When prankster Williams was caught in the act
A few months ago, the former World No. 1 tennis player uploaded a video to TikTok in which she attempted to trick her husband and Olympia. She spoke with the viewers while she waited for her husband and daughter to realize they were being played. To frighten them, she genuinely positioned hyper-realistic cockroaches throughout the house.
