- Venus Williams was born in 1980, on the 17 thof June, in
Lynwood, California. One year after that, Serena was born ( on the

Angeles.

years later, Serena started, too.They were coached by their father
.

was very important for their family, but they couldnt leave their
tennis career.

- In the beginning, Venus played much more than Serena and
because of that, she succeeded first at the age of fourteen and
three years later she made it to U.S. Open, and that was her first
big step. Meanwhile Serena was already rising through the ranking
and the surprise came when not Venus, but Serena won a Grand Slam
on the U.S. Open.

- I often think and say to myself "what I can do to help others."
For years I have donated to so many different charities because I
am a philanthropist at heart and I believe in the bible adage that
says "giving is better than receiving." said Serena. They support
Africans education and since December 2009, their foundation is
building a school in Senegal that will allow kids to attend school
for free.

them.

clothes and they always wear dresses from their clothing line on
the Red Carpet.

new rackets, which are almost always white with golden frames.
