Behind every great daughter is a truly amazing father. Since Richard Williams raised not one but two tennis legends, he deserves a ‘king’ size recognition. The father-daughter duo is spotted having quite some fun in a recent Instagram story by the former World’s No.1 Venus Williams. Richard spent a good amount of his younger days training Serena and Venus. It had been long since he was spotted anywhere due to his ailments.

Richard has been away for quite some time now since he got brain surgery. The man survived 3 strokes over the past few years. The 4-time Olympic gold medalist put up 2 fun-dipped pictures with her father on Instagram.

With everything that Richard has done for his daughters, it is obvious that they are by his side, helping him find his way back.

A life that had to be characterized and depicted on the big screen with utmost respect.
