Richard Williams did whatever he could to make his daughters two of the best tennis players the world has ever seen. And it started in the public courts of Compton. Eventually, Venus and Serena Williams shifted to their new home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, which spans over 10 acres of land. Richard Williams, with his ill health, is stuck up in his family home and has longing feelings for that.

This is because the mansion is all set to be auctioned because of his estranged wife, Lakeisha Graham. He recently shared his conundrum regarding the home where the Williams sisters evolved.

The father of the two tennis legends has some strong lingering feelings for the Florida mansion, which is on the verge of being auctioned. In an interview with The U.S. Sun, the ailing legendary coach is stuck at the family home where Venus and Serena Williams grew up.

He stated, “The house is easily worth a million dollars.” However, because it has been rapidly deteriorating, this may not be the case. Boasting about the home, he said, “The ten acres of land is unbelievable.” However, he is looking forward to starting over there. He said, “I don’t need the past no more if I keep (focusing) on the past, I won’t do much.”
