Serena and Venus Williams are one of the most celebrated professionals in tennis. Apart from the sport, they also garner attention and adoration from sectors such as entertainment and business. All because of their down-to-earth, respectful, and friendly nature.

The Williams sisters never shy away from showing appreciation for others and acknowledging their skills and efforts.

Oracene Price’s upbringing made them the humble queens they are today.
