‘She’s Scary’- Venus Williams Firmly Believes ‘Very Dynamic’ Niece Olympia Will Be a Better Athlete Than Her and Serena Williams

Venus and Serena Williams, despite being formidable rivals on the court, the bond between them has never soured. The Williams sisters learned the basics of the sport together and went on to create some impeccable records in doubles. In 2017, Serena gave birth to her daughter, Olympia. Now, her aunt Venus believes she is destined to become even better than her and Serena.

In the past, we have seen Olympia play a number of sports, from tennis and golf with her parents, to showing off her soccer skills in a recent match of Angel City FC. It is safe to say that she has inherited the inherent athletic ability from her mother, the 23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams.

Venus on Serena Williams’ daughter Olympia

Venus Williams is a proud athlete and an equally proud sister. While she herself is a legend, nothing could be better if you have a great sister, too. However, Venus believes Serena’s daughter Olympia is much more athletic than them. In a recent podcast, Venus spoke about her niece.

“She is fantastic, she is a better athlete than probably both of us,” Venus said. “She’s scary, very tall… she is very dynamic. I was a quiet child. I didn’t even start talking till I was 25. She is quite the opposite. She is extremely special. I was not like that when I was younger,” Venus concluded.

Venus plans to return next year

While Serena had a decent outing before her retirement, the elder Williams sister failed to impress. The 42-year-old didn’t win any match she played this year and was not looking at her best. In her most recent match, she crashed out of the US Open after suffering a first-round loss. However, the seven-time Grand Slam champion is not giving up. In an interaction with her fans on Instagram, Venus said that she is not going to play any further this season. However, she will prepare herself for the next year.

Further, when asked about her doubles future, Venus said she has retired from the doubles now. It is nice to see that the legend is taking her time to prepare for her comeback. Even her fans would like to see a more prepared and challenging Venus taking the court.
