Serena Williams calls sister Venus the leader of their team
Since making their debut in the women’s doubles category in 1997, the Williams sisters established themselves as one of the most successful pairs in history. While they won 14 Grand Slam tournaments in the category, they also won three Olympic gold medals. Those medals came in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics.
In addition, they also became the World No. 1 in doubles in 2010, where they stayed for a significant period of time. They also enjoyed successful singles careers; Serena is a record 23-time Grand Slam champion. Venus won seven singles Grand Slam tournaments, and both were the World No. 1 at different points in time.
Along with immense success, they also have massive popularity on social media. Hence, it’s no surprise to see their recent live workout garner attention from fans across the globe.
During their Q&A session, Serena revealed her elder sister was the leader of their iconic doubles team on the court. She said, “She’s the leader of our group. She’s definitely the leader. On the court, she’s the boss.”
Prior to this revelation, Serena also called Venus and her parents as her inspiration in life.
