Serena Williams Quotes About Sports, Tennis, Success, Feminism, Motherhood, Winning, Life & Motivational! Serena Williams is a well-known name on the women’s professional tennis circuit in the United States. She has held the number one spot in the world rankings eight times between 2002 and 2017. The date of Serena Williams’ birth is September 26th, 1981. Young Williams was a precocious youngster, and she and her sister Venus began playing tennis when she was only four years old.
Soon after, they enrolled in the tennis school run by Rick Macci, who honed their innate abilities and helped them develop their potential. By the time she reached the 10-and-under division’s first-place ranking in 1991, she had a compiled record of 46-3 on the United States Tennis Association Junior Tour. The family uprooted and relocated to Florida. However, due to the tight schedule, her father decided to take the girls out of practicing tennis. He held the belief that the strenuous activity may exhaust them too rapidly.
She began her career as a tennis player on the professional circuit in 1995. As a result, she is the active player with the most “Grand Slam” championships, having won them in mixed doubles, singles, and doubles, respectively. Additionally, Forbes magazine’s “100 Highest-Paid Athletes” ranking has included her on the list not once but twice. She was honored with the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year three times.
In 2015, “Sports Illustrated Magazine” honored her by bestowing her the “Sportsperson of the Year” title. She is unquestionably regarded as among the best female tennis players in the history of the sport. She was the highest-paid female athlete in 2016, with prize money and sponsorships totaling $28.9 million.
