7-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams hasn’t had a good season so far. She hasn’t been up to the mark recently and as a result, is yet to win a title this year. However, the American legend is not giving up and training herself really hard for the upcoming tournaments.
Interestingly, Venus Williams’ dad Richard Williams joined her daughter’s training session recently. Venus even posted a video in which one can see her doing some physical exercises. Surprisingly, her dad is acting as her instructor and can be seen motivating her daughter. What’s beautiful is that even though Richard is 79-years-old at the moment, he is still helping her daughter so that she can play well at the US Open 2021.
“Power & Purpose. Putting in the work,” wrote Venus in the Instagram caption.

Fans are quite aware that Richard Williams was the first coach of both Venus and Serena Williams. It is surely because of his efforts that the fans are able to witness two incredible champions on the court today.
In the comment section of the post, a fan wrote, “Mr. Williams is still at it… 30+ years later.” Venus was surely happy to read it and replied, “Every Practice.”
Interesting that @Venuseswilliams seems to be suggesting Papa Williams is a regular in practice. Amazing! I can relate with the culture that you're never too old to tap from some parental wisdom. Bless them. pic.twitter.com/SkXhhqnzJM
