<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAll five girls learned the sport, but the two youngest, Venus and Serena, stood out from an early age. Beyond their raw talents and natural instinct, both Venus and Serena had intense grit and determination which motivated them to be champions. But what stands out about the infamous sisters is their closeness and friendship<\/a> with one another. Serena, the younger sister, was Venus\u2019s number one fan from day one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “What didn’t I do to try to copy Venus when I was younger?” she rhetorically asks in the 2012 documentary Venus and Serena<\/em>. “I mean, her favorite color was my favorite color, her favorite animal was my favorite animal, she wanted to win Wimbledon, I wanted to win Wimbledon.\u201d Serena recalls in the Venus and Serena, the 2012 documentary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But Venus didn\u2019t seem bothered to have an ever-present buddy. In fact, the sisters note that they\u2019ve been a comfort to one another and kept each other from feeling alone for four decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Venus was the trailblazer, or as Serena calls her, \u2018the door opener\u2019. When Venus turned pro at fourteen and rose to stardom, she became \u2018the first\u2019 across many categories. Though she was in a league of her own, she was never alone, and always had Serena to turn to. And Serena, who turned pro the year after Venus, leaned into her big sister\u2019s unflinching support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Love is, I think, one of the strongest things that you can have,” Serena told Sports Illustrated<\/em><\/a> in 2014. “I have a sister, and she knows exactly what I’m going through. She knows everything about me. She is the only person I can really talk to after I lose, because only she knows how I feel. Nobody else. They can feel, they can try, but they\u2019re just not on that level. Only she understands it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two have since become tennis legends. Venus has earned 22 Grand Slam titles (7 Singles, 13 Doubles, 2 Mixed Doubles) and four Olympic Gold Medals in her career. Serena\u2019s career winnings include 17 singles Grand Slam titles, 15 doubles Grand Slam titles and 2 mixed doubles Grand Slam titles, and three olympic gold medals. It can be seen that their greatness comes from a perfect combination of challenging one another while unhesitatingly supporting and loving one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to learn more about the Williams Sisters\u2019 hustle and grit, watch the recent Oscar-winning biopic King Richard<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/qa.angelink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/serenavenuswilliams071516-1024x576.jpg\")
