The Williams sisters with their father, Richard Williams

Serena and Venus Williams

You can absolutely not talk about all-time tennis greats without mentioning the Williams sisters. Serena is no doubt the greatest female tennis player of all time (check the stats) as well as the most talked about tennis player both on and off the court over the past couple of years. Her older sister, Venus, on the other hand, is also a very well decorated player.

From humble beginnings, the Williams sisters were groomed, trained and mentored by their father, Richard Williams.
