“Venus wants to win Wimbledon; Serena wants to win the US Open” gives me chills considering they both won their dream slam as each of their first!
Venus changed the landscape of tennis forever. May she always be celebrated for her ground breaking achievements.
Precisely. She is the reason tennis is what it is today!! Much credit to her. What a campion. What an icon!
Yes she did❤️
She use to be built like Serena and stronger
How? Lindsay was the first baseline power player to win Wimbledon.
@@jamesyu5212 Davenport was a great player; an absolutely clean, pure striker of the ball, and an all-court player, but she lacked the movement and absolute tenaciousness and mental toughness of Venus and Serena. Before Venus, there were other tall women who played tennis, but none of them moved like her. They were generally slower, and unwieldy, like Davenport. Venus has the power that comes with being a bigger, taller athlete, but moves with the quickness and nimbleness of a smaller one. This was an unprecedented combination before her time, but is much more commonplace now. I would go even further to say that this phenomenon also translated into the men’s game, where more and more there are taller players who move well. Added to the Williams sisters’ power, movement and smarts was as I mentioned before, their mental toughness. Opponents know no matter the situation, they are always in for a fight with these two. This is why these woman reigned supreme for so long.
Kudos to their father who developed two of the best tennis players who ever lived.
860anthony Yes! So true!
not only his father...their mother did equally if not more
@@yomommastupid No, he was the coach and leader as all the video's show.
@@dlkc2000 Serena and Venus specifically told the film makers of king Richard to show how their mom was very involved with their success.
@@derekberta8732 She downplayed and said the mother did more... I said no. Who is your reply to?
Serena narrated this beautifully. What a unique and powerful story continued.
I was only 8 but I remember how huge a deal it was in the UK for Venus and Serena to meet in the semis at Wimbledon. My family and I were on holiday in Cornwall and out for lunch and I remember begging my parents to take me back to the hotel so I could watch it. I have been a huge fan of both sisters ever since and was lucky enough to see Venus defeat Lindsay in the 2005 final, one of the most exciting days of my life up to that point. I wish these women could go on forever.
Beautiful!

@@LendaleJohnson86 pretty cool story 👍
Incredible honor to be there in ‘05!
OMG! Im so jealous. That 2005 match is still the most thrilling (& my favorite) final I’ve ever seen.
My eyes are filled. So sweet. What a joy to relive those moments.
You're most welcome...
@@Wimbledon more venus videos!! We, her fans are mesmerized by her playing style and grace, especially at Wimbledon. Perhaps the konta match 07, kerber 16 or Sharapova 05?
"THE SPORT HAVE NEVER SEEN PLAYERS OR SISTERS LIKE US" -SERENA❤
Venus is not serena
@@RameshKumar-ud5uk Serena is the one who said it.
5 Wimbledon titles, 9 Finals... Truly one of the GREAT grass court players of all time ❤️
I love Venus. I think she is so underrated and at one point was so much under the shadows of Serena. But Venus is a great champion, so accomplisched and successful and I am elated that she won her favourite tournament 5 times. Venus is one of the biggest legends in tennis.
I will never forget this day a lot of people were glued to their television in Jamaica 👑👑👑🇯🇲
We sure were! 🇯🇲
Same here in Bahamas!!
Ubuntu. When one of us laughs, we laugh, when they cry, we cry also - Ubuntu
I was maybe 8 at the time and glued to the TV! Nobody could tell me nothing about Venus or Serena! They introduced me to the world of tennis and knocking pot cover!!
come here after king richard. venus & serena, legends!
When Serena said 'my big sister, Wimbledon champion', wowww there so much pride in it ❤❤
That movie made me respect their family unit so much more. They are the epitome of perseverance, belief and hardwork. Titans!
Her father already knew Venus Williams will take Wimbledon and Serena US open as maiden slam
Teared up watching this. Such a phenomenal player and a great person Venus is.
I love Venus and Serena. They are incredible women.
Serena and Venus have the most beautiful relationship and it's so heart warming to hear how Serena talks about her big sister. So much love, respect, admiration, etc.. Richard Williams should be praised for a hell of a lot more than creating two tennis super stars. He created a beautiful family.
Yes, Lord! Those were some powerful "Sister" years in women's tennis! Pure perfection, perseverance and excellent performance!
Respect to their parents for building such great personalities...🙏👏👍
Oh wow I’m crying this is so emotional. Can’t believe this was 20 years ago I remember watching on tv and crying 20 years ago
Wow that's so awesome they achieved their dream goals back to back
Wow Venus s always graceful at Wimbledon her 5 titles at Wimbledon always remembered
Just watched King Richard. Awesome movie. What a beautiful family.
Tears... I just love her she is so underappreciated
*tears* Venus is the legend!
Serena already inspires me but Venus amazes me also just so elegant and respectful
It's actually difficult to fathom how good BOTH of the Williams sisters are. Usually there's one sibling who isn't as good, but they were both multiple slam champions, they both dominated the game individually and together, in both singles and doubles at the SAME TIME. Just insanity.
That's right! Proud to be from compton.
Tennis is the best sport! 10/10
Man that was beautiful! I love that Serena narrated it.
What a legend. Greatest of all time after Serena. Look at her move, what an athlete!
She’s a great athlete but she’s for sure not in the top 5
A If we’re talking strictly women, there’s not a better athlete than Venus in her peak/prime. NOBODY could move around that court like she did. Not even her own sister
Nonsense. Steffi Graf is the greatest female tennis player of all time. Serena is 4th or 5th while Venus is around 13th.
@@TarHeelBlueFreak Steffi Graf is regarded by the vast majority of tennis analysts as the best mover the game has ever seen. Just watch their match at Wimbledon 1999. That was Steffi's last ever Slam and after three knee surgeries she still moved better and outplayed Venus who had one of her best years on tour.
The two of them are completely incomparable. Steffi is just superior in every single aspect - speed, court coverage, movement, athleticism, mental strength, technique, discipline, work ethic, elegance, grace, beauty, etc.
Even Richard Williams said back in the 90s that there will never be anyone like Steffi Graf again and he was right
@@PravoslavniVitez yeah an inflated grand slam count due to her fan taking out monica
Venus has always been my favourite of the 2 Sisters. In her prime Venus was simply the most exciting female tennis player to watch, with the speed of her movement, unbelievable court coverage, powerful serves and volleys. While Serena ended up being technically better and more consistent with her strokes, it is very hard to say when both play at their very best who would win. If not for the fact that Serena was around at the same time as Venus and of her illness over the years, Venus would have won around 12-15 grand slam titles. She is one of the very best female tennis players of all time, right up there with her sister, Steffi, Seles, Navratilova and Evert.
Don't forget Venus's Olympic medal history.
I agree. And since 2000, it’s really just been Serena, Venus and maybe Justine winning and playing tennis at the highest levels consistently…
@@iago07 thanks ,atleast someone remembered Justine the warrior.
And Kim too, that was a great time！
I love how Serena is doing the voiceover to this.
One of the most gracious athletes and Wimbledon champions ever. May your legacy live on in Wimbledon history forever!
She paved ways for many and gave the Dream for ordinary people to dream big.
I am always happy to see both Venus and Serena play big and win big.
They inspire me immensely..
Seeing this after the movie is making me cry!!! 😭❤️
I teared up at the happiness of a dad and the passion of a player🥺❤❤
Seeing Venus for the first time playing tennis was magical. I’ve loved the sport since. Team Venus and Serena forever.
Olympia loos exactly like Serena when she was a little girl!❤️
VENUS MY QUEENNNNNN❤
Who else is here after the King Richard movie?
Meee I’m crying
I cried watching this. Thanks Venus for daring us to dream!!
The legend, the queen 👑 We love Venus ❣
Venus and Roger are my favorite two tennis players❤
bawling my eyes out.
Give it another 10 years, then they should make a Last-Dance style super documentary of the Williams sisters!
King Richard movie will smith is playing their father
Nicely narrated cant believe she is already 40 and she is still active player on tour with all her illness and injuries, i love watching her always at Wimbledon specially 2 finals with Lindsey was always remembered one.
Memories they’ll never forget, the world will never forget.
I teared up watching this. I can't believe I've been supporting Venus and Serena for more than half of my life now... And they're still playing and busy being legends!
Heartwarming !! Tears in my eyes watching these Two sisters playing each other.Every parent's dream ......❤️ Greetings from Kerala, India 🙏
3:11 That narration! WOW Goosebumps !!
I’m crying watching this.
Venus the ethereal Queen! 😍
What a narration by Serena ❤❤
Such a sweet tribute to your big sister Venus!!!!! Excellent job Serena!!
I don't think people understand the scope of just what Mr. Richard Williams accomplished through his two incredible daughters!
The sisters that took Tennis to a new level and made their extraordinary debut 🎾🏆👍🎶🥇
I remember watching this final at work, when she won i screamed so loud my coworkes thought i had been injured! My love for Venus Williams fully blossomed that day, and ive been in love every since then!❤️❤️❤️
Venus played some fearless tennis here and was rewarded. Champion's mentality and heart.
What a beautiful story this is.
OMG! I get teary eyed walking on this memory lane. I still remember that championship point as if it was yesterday.
Venus truly is a historical player.
First black tennis player to reach #1 in the world. Ashe and Gibson were never ranked#1. Venus was the first dominant black player in tennis winning 4 majors in less than 15 months time. Only Serena has matched that accomplishment. Historical.
Evonne Goolagong is an Australian Aboriginal. They are in fact, black people. It may have only been a brief moment in the mid-70's that she achieved a world number ranking but it's legit. She also won 7 Grand Slam titles. So she would be the most successful black tennis player before the Williams era.
@@westozzy Evoone is a true hero for all of Australia.
Excellent story first time liking serena for her voice☺
Serena’s face after the loss made me cry. Must have been tough playing big sister.
Whenever they play each other, it’s always crazy emotional nerves
My throat got thick. I was emotional too.
@@JasonWalkerJamaica personally I never enjoyed them playing against each other. it always seemed like Venus, being the big sister, struggled to play her best against Serena because as much as she wanted to win, she didn't want to see her little sister lose. and while Serena, as the younger sister, didn't worry about that as much, it seemed like she didn't particularly want to beat her sister either.
Tbh i think it was staged, serena maybe told to lose to venus by their father, since she already won US open.
@@Irishb0y Cannot be discounted. The family loyalty to dad was crazy, as is the love between the two sisters
OMG! Venus will always have a special place in my memories. I will celebrate this forever!
I no joke cried through this, so heartwarming ❤️
THE MYSTERY OF 🎾. WILLIAM SISTERS & FAMILY 👪. THANKS 😊 🙏.
This video brought tears to my eyes. I have always been inspired by the Williams sisters. It's because of them I got interested into the sport. I hope to be able to win at tennis tournaments I will participate in 2022. Let's go :)
This was even more special hearing Serena talk about Venus. #incrediblesisters
This is beautiful and delightful to watch ,venus a classic person with a calm voice, always shows great sportsmanship knowing serena down this makes it more interesting and understanding why they love r so strong
Wow this was incredible thanks for sharing this with me Serena!
Salute King Richard and Williams Sisters
I am so proud of these two young ladies hope I will be able to watch them live before they retire
Yo Venus winning serve at the quarter finals looked dangerously fast I was amazed when I saw how fast it went past her opponent truly an inspiration!!
Makes me cry 😢😢😢😢😢
Inspiration for many. Enjoyed every second of it. Proud of them.
Venus is such a trailblazer and game changer. She, for my money, is the greatest mover the women’s game has ever seen-she was graceful, athletic, and seamless with her cross-court movement. I hate how the sports media of the last 10-12 years have pretended that her amazing career and accomplishments are basically non-existent. Serena isn’t the only all-time great player in the Williams clan. Vee came first, and has also fought for equal pay with such class and never-give-up spirit
Steffi Graf is the greatest mover the game has ever seen.
As for Venus, she is not an all-time great. The only all-time greats are Wills, Court, Evert, Navratilova, Graf and Serena Williams.
Venus is somewhere around the 13th best after the aforementioned ladies and others such as Billie Jean King, Lenglen, Connolly, Goolagong, Seles and Henin.
Absolutely love these sisters and this was so beautifully narrated by Serena! How fun it must be for Olympia to have superhero relatives!! 😍
They are so beautiful......i almost cried when I see them riding their bikes......diamonds in the ruff
We need more of these ❤️❤️❤️
Venus is incredible !
Am here today watching this video while waiting the movie of theirs. Am sure it's gonna be a masterpiece ✨ 😍
It just have been hard for Vee to see little sis win a grand slam first. I’m sure she was proud, but like Serena said, the older sister is always supposed to be first. So glad Vee didn’t give up and kept fighting because that very next year she dominated.
So much respect for these two legends...♥️♥️♥️
awesome, Venus is an incredible player
I remember that time, 20 years ago.
wow their father taught them to be confident , he set in front of their eyes the highest and the best making it easy to achieve ... what an approach to build great players , what a strong belief
I still remember when these two came on the scene, with their beads👍 LEGENDS!
I love that each of them won their childhood dream Slam first!
Venus and Serena are the greatest sports stories till date and perhaps ever
Just phenomenal and priceless sisters love.
What a special moment that would have been to witness this as a spectator.
This needs more like. Go V!!
Respekt These womans Serena Williams and Venus Williams and Respekt Their father Richard Williams.
Love her smile 😊
Venus rising at 20 now Faughty! Go girl!
I just love the way she celebrates her victory ❤️❤️
Straight up tears in my eyes. Beautifully edited. Nice one
Serena narrating Venus' story just gives chillls.
Absolutely love watching them so much. I’m so sad Wimbledon isn’t happening this year 😭
We'll all be back together again soon ☺️
Beautiful story. Dreams do come true, for those willing to pursuit them.
