Despite being scrutinized for their gameplay or the way they looked, Venus and Serena Williams always stayed resilient. Their parents, Richard Williams and Oracene Price, were their backbone and had supported them since they were young in their careers. So, when the two decided to part ways, their mother, Oracene Price, made sure to keep the emotions of their daughters in mind. She wanted their careers to not get affected by their decision.

The two sisters too handled the situation maturely even though Price knew how they felt about it. Nobody has it easy. And that is true for the tennis legends, Venus and Serena Williams too.

The couple had been separated for almost a year and Price wanted to get a divorce as soon as she could. However, she wanted to go about it in a way that did not mess up Venus and Serena Williams‘ careers.

I would not allow that.”
