Serena Williams is The Queen of the Court by all meanings of the term. The Compton native has destroyed almost all the records in the women’s circuit and set an extremely high standard. However, no great player is without weaknesses. Venus Williams, Serena Williams’ older sister, revealed her weakness in an interview back in 1999 when the two were fairly new players on the world stage.

She went on to add that she wants things quickly and has a problem waiting for them. But added that Serena’s a great player overall.
Venus said, “I would say that she’s just impatient. She wants things right here, right here, right now, right away, so I would just say that sometimes can be a weakness, but I would say Serena’s a really strong player all around. She said impatience gets too or sometime“.
