Serena Williams is an American professional tennis player born on September 26, 1981. The most Grand Slam singles championships ever won by a player in the Open Era and the second-most overall (after Margaret Court’s 24) are both held by Serena Williams with 23 victories.

She has held the top spot in the global rankings for 319 weeks, including a joint record of 186 straight weeks, and five times she has been in first place at the end of the year.

The whole world knows the kind of influence Richard Williams, father of Serena had on her successful tennis career.

The former tennis player and coach suffered his first stroke in July 2016 but became stabilized thanks to medications and proper care.

Reports trickling in indicate that he has once again suffered two strokes in quick succession. This condition has rendered him so weak that he can barely utter meaningful words to express himself.

According to his doctors, the stroke has caused permanent brain damage and dementia.

When they were four and a half years old, Venus and Serena Williams began taking tennis lessons from a man known as “Old Whiskey.”

Williams took his girls out of a tennis academy in 1995 and started coaching them himself. They started winning grand slam competitions after a short while.

Williams claimed he thought it was premature to have taken them and that age six would have been more appropriate.
