Tennis Legend Urges for Venus and Serena Williams Documentary Similar to Michael Jordan’s ‘The Last Dance’

The trailer of ‘King Richard’ was recently released, and it received a lot of plaudits from the fans. The movie is about Richard Williams- the father of both Serena Williams and Venus Williams and what’s really intriguing is that Will Smith is playing the role of Richard in the film. Recently, tennis legend Jim Courier also seemed quite excited about the upcoming film.

In a recent interview, Jim Courier revealed that he watched ‘The Last Dance’ on Netflix some time ago. The 4-time Grand Slam winner liked the documentary so much that he said that a director should make a similar film covering the lives of Serena Williams and Venus Williams.

“The Last Dance was phenomenal. If they could do something on the Williams sisters along those lines, that’d be great,” said a cheerful Courier.

‘The Last Dance’ is a documentary that was released on Netflix in 2020. It follows the Bulls’ 1997-98 season, while also covering the rest of the chapters in Michael Jordan’s remarkable career. It covers the journey of Jordon from when he used to play basketball in high school to the NBA.
