Venus and Serena Williams set a legacy in the realm of women’s tennis and gave the sport a makeover. However, it did not come easily. The two sisters followed the guidelines that their parents laid down for them. Richard Williams and Oracene Price guided their two daughters. However, Serena confessed in an old interview about going rogue in her life twice.

But she also mentioned that she was always obedient. Let’s see what she did.

Serena Williams went rogue twice in her life

The 23-time Grand Slam champion was always an obedient daughter; following the guidelines laid down by her parents. However, the younger of the two legendary Williams sisters also had her own rebellious moments. In 2018, after giving birth to Olympia, she said, “Obedience brings protection; that’s what my mom told me. That’s straight from the Bible, and she wrote it down on paper and gave it to me.”

Serena detailed her experience and said, “I was always obedient: Whatever my parents told me to do, I did. There was no discussion.” However, she also accepted that she might have gone a bit off track in between. She said, “Maybe I had a little rebellious phase in my 20s when I tried liquor for the first time.”

Apart from that, she said, “Maybe having a baby on the tennis tour is the most rebellious thing I could ever do.” If bringing Olympia to the world was the most rebellious thing that Serena had done, we can believe her when she says she’s always been an obedient daughter.

Serena and her graceful journey into retirement

Serena Williams retired with one of the most glorious tennis records in the history of the sport. With 23 Grand Slam titles and 73 singles titles, her career numbers will only remain a distant dream for many professional players. However, Serena, after her win at the Australian Open in 2017, didn’t win another Grand Slam title. After her hamstring injury at last year’s Wimbledon, the American player made a comeback in the grass-court season where she faced a first-round loss.
