What was the question that could make the 42-year-old respond in an unusual manner?
Venus Williams and Serena Williams’ reality show making a comeback?
Recently, during a Q&A session, “Ask away your tennis?’s” on the Eleven by Venus Instagram account, a curious fan inquired Venus, whether she would bring the reality show featuring both the Williams sisters back. And Venus, surprisingly, had a bizarre reaction.
When the fans asked, “Would you ever want to bring back you and Serena’s reality show?” The 42-year-old choose to react in a muted displeasure, with a semi-upturned face, looking to the side, shaking her head ‘in a subtle no’ and finally saying “Yuck!”
‘Venus and Serena: For Real’ was a reality TV show featuring the two sisters that aired in 2005. The show followed the sisters’ endeavors both on and off the court. From Venus’ reaction to the question about starring again in the show with her sister, we can gauge that the show’s reception among the fans wasn’t what they expected.
Venus and Serena Williams’ tennis journey has been unconventional. When Venus entered the tennis circuit, almost no one expected Serena to blast through, and certainly not a Williams v/s Williams final at several Grand Slam tournaments. Consequently, the fans connected with the sisters’ journey to stardom. Hence, fans are always eager to see the sisters’ re-union, on-court or off-court.
