Venus Williams’ Game-Changing Project as ‘King Richard’ Inspires Her to Tread Along the Same Path

The 2021 movie ‘King Rihard’ received plenty of accolades this year, as fans and critics gave rave reviews. Although the film mainly told the story of Richard Williams (father of Venus and Serena Williams), it was also equally an origin story for Venus Williams.

In the movie, both Williams sisters were executive producers, along with their half sister, Isha Price. It seems like Venus is following the same path after King Richard’s success as she becomes the producer of a new project.

Notably, 7-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams and producer Laurie Pozmantier are the executive producers for a new movie called, ‘Game, Set, Love’. Directed by Jessica Harmon, this movie will release on 27th August.

The two lead actors in this movie are Richard Harmon and Davida Williams. Interestingly, former American tennis star and a 2-time Grand Slam champion, Tracy Austin will also make an appearance in the movie. You can see the trailer of this movie below.

Undoubtedly, this is a big step for Venus, as she is slowly moving away from tennis and stepping into another field. She has already worked in the Oscar-nominated film, ‘King Richard’ and we could see her in plenty of future projects as a producer.

Earlier, the 7-time Grand Slam champion received a wild card entry into the US Open, which means we will see her once again in the main draw. Notably, she missed last year’s tournament due to an injury. Moreover, she missed almost a year and recently made her singles comeback at the Citi Open.

However, her return has not been successful as she has lost three straight games. Notably, she received a wildcard at the Citi Open, Canadian Open, and Cincinnati Open as well.

So, after a lackluster return, it will be interesting to see if she can go far into the US Open 2022.
