The Williams sisters were born into a family where both parents were athletes and tennis coaches. Favorable family backgrounds helped Venus and Serena soon gain access to professional tennis. Both father ( Richard Williams ) and mother ( Oracene Price ) directly coached their two daughters for a long time, until they divorced. Since then, Venus and Serena have been raised, taught and trained mainly with their mother – Mrs. Oracene Price. She and her two daughters have won more than 120 tennis titles of all kinds.

Oracene Price is currently living alone, but Venus and Serena’s love for her is still very great. They continuously share moments together. Mrs. Price is a familiar face in the tennis stands every time her two daughters compete. Serena, in a letter to her mother when she gave birth to her first daughter, said that she was “the strongest woman I have ever known.” For her, her mother is a great source of motivation and the example she needs to overcome gossip about her “hard like a man’s” body due to intense training. She is proud to have inherited her grandmother’s strength.

Mom, please promise me that you will continue to help us. I’m not sure if I will ever have strength like yours, but I hope one day I will. I love Mom.

Serena reminded her in a letter to her mother
