Serena Williams wants Venus to coach Olympia if she takes up tennis

Although it was quite early to judge what Olympia will choose as her career, Serena is assured of having a good tennis coach for her, in case the little one picks up a racket. Speaking of her daughter’s possibility of taking up the sport she has mastered, the American legend bestowed the responsibility of coaching her on the shoulders of Venus. Here’s what Serena said back in 2018 in an interview with the WTA.

Venus said she would coach her. She just didn’t want to travel. She said that, like, yesterday or the day before. While Venus agreed earlier, she later said that she was not sure if she was good enough for the job. Serena quoted Venus, saying, “I’m not sure if I’m a great coach. I could be a good mental coach. In terms of a tennis coach, I don’t know if I have patience.”
