‘Her Second Best Friend as a Kid Was..’ – Serena Williams’ Childhood Obsession Besides Sister Venus Williams Revealed by 68-Year-Old Mentor in an Endearing Message

Serena Williams‘ tennis career, and even a large chunk of her life, would be incomplete without her elder sister, Venus. Like salt and pepper, the famous sister duo is completely different, but at the same time, they constantly complement one another. They began their tennis careers together and even supported each other throughout their diverse life choices. Rick Macci, the tennis duo’s childhood coach who has known them both since they were young children, recently gave some insight into Serena’s early tennis career, specifically her two best friends.

He revealed that they were best buddies throughout their incredible tennis careers. However, Serena had another best friend apart from her sister.

The 68-year-old American tennis coach recently shared an insight about the youngest Williams sister’s early tennis life, revealing her best friend at the tennis academy. He took to his Twitter account to share how, other than the seven-time Grand Slam champion, the 41-year-old American tennis legend also had one best friend that brought happiness into her life.

He wrote, “@serenawilliams best friend as a kid was Venus. Always Happy Smiling trained like a Machine and was very Hungry. Her second best friend as a kid was the Snack Machine. She was Really Happy Smiling and had even more Hunger! SW ALWAYS ATTACKING ON AND OFF THE COURT.”

Further, the 23-time Grand Slam champion, who now only eats gluten-free, once shared a great friendship with the snacks machine, just like any other normal kid. Whether it was with her sister or the snack machine, Macci highlighted how Serena was the happiest kid training to be the best on the tennis court.
