Venus and Serena are two names everyone associated with the sport has simultaneously heard on the tennis court for a long time. Since their first match against each other in 1998, the Williams sisters have competed for the biggest titles while showing their distinct personalities on the tennis field. Beyond their battle on the court, though, is their sisterhood, which is filled with unwavering friendship and unmatched support.

After having a glorious tennis career, a lot of things have changed. Times have changed in such a way that the younger sister has retired from the tennis arena. However, Venus still has some unfinished business on the WTA Tour. And a few days ago, the 7-time Grand Slam champion, who is now 43, made a comeback to the sport after a hiatus. Ahead of what could be her final Wimbledon appearance, she received the most supportive counsel from her younger sister, who was there in the Netherlands, to cheer her up.

Venus receives wise advice from her sister, Serena Williams

After suffering an injury earlier in the month of August, the seven-time Grand Slam champion returned to the sport after a 6-month break. Even though she had missed the Australian Open and the French Open, the 43-year-old tennis star wanted to get back before Wimbledon, and she did. A few days ago, she played her comeback match at the Libema Open in the Netherlands.

She shared a video from the first Libema Open on her YouTube channel. But the thing that grabbed everybody’s attention was her younger sister’s advice before she stepped on the tennis court. Serena Williams said, “I am not coaching, but, stay positive. Never get down on yourself; that’s what frustrated me to death. I can see that you never got it down, so just keep that, go back to that; that’s what the most frustrating thing in the world.”
