In a recent talk, World No. 20 made a few statements regarding the Williams sisters. He believes Venus is a very ambitious player and gets “sick” even at the thought of losing. Furthermore, he even stated that without Venus, Serena would not have been the greatest woman player of all time.
He said, “She’s insanely competitive – as fierce as there’s ever been. Absolutely cannot tolerate losing – it makes her sick to think about it. She doesn’t even reflect on her wins. She stays in the moment. If it weren’t for Serena she’d be the greatest woman player of all time. Then again, there’s no Serena without Venus.
