Serena Williams and Venus Williams have engraved their names in the realm of tennis because of their astounding performance on the court. The father of the two sisters, Richard Williams, shaped the early careers of the two players.

The Wimbledon 2022 is here, and we look back upon when Richard Williams expressed his discontent towards the Wimbledon and how it has become a very commercialized tournament which was not good for the sport.

Richard Williams condemned the high maintenance of the Wimbledon

Richard Williams has always been there to look over his two daughters’ performance on the court. So, that consequently made him travel on various tours with them. The coach and father commented on the condition of the Wimbledon. He said, “This (Wimbledon) has become too commercialized, too many rules, they have a rule for everything.”

He also gave an example of the Italian Open, which he feels is up to the mark. Richard Williams said, “My favorite championship is Rome [the Italian Open] because the transportation service is better by far, you’re treated more personal. They don’t try to kill you with the rates on eating and people there who work at the tournament go all out to please you.”
