Are the Williams sisters only interested in one thing?

Question

namely The Williams sisters! harsh or painfully true?

Answer 1

This is the way they were brought up.  If you wanna see something real on them when they were younger.  I saw when their dad, hired a well known tennis player and train them and that in itself was really something to see.  I think myself, they get this from their dad.

Answer 2

Tennis has always been a very white sports.  There is a lot of racism in the sport and the Williams weren't from the traditional tennis family - wealthy white people.  They were brought up and trained by a man who doesn't speak proper English and lives on another side of town that the others never heard of.   So I am sure he made sure he brought them up to be self reliance and to cling to each other because of his experiences prior so it might come across as if they are only interested in themselves but it is more self protection.  The early years of playing they didn't even speak to the other players as they were constantly called names so because of that just stuck to each other and that's that.

Answer 3

Well they are very "focused", but I guess that's the way they've had to be.

I've never been a fan of them, however, I did enjoy Venus' win last year.  And it does look as though one of them will win this year - Serena's turn?????????

Answer 4

I know one thing, our TV channel seems to think they are the only girls playing tennis at Wimbledon,  They are the only ones I ever see.  Aren't there other girls in the contest?

Answer 5

No. There always a lot of things in their mind.  For example Serena likes to act as she had take part in movies acting.  Venus likes fashion design.  She plan to become a fashion designer once she retired.  If they really focus only on tennis, I think they will have a even better results and achievement compare to now.

Answer 6

No mate I think that's a bit harsh. They've given back selflessly and generously.

There was also the infamous charity exhibition tour they did a year or two ago.

Venus also partnered with up and coming player Caroline Wozniacki in some doubles events last year and this year as a sort of mentorship for the youngster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZp7EoFxO...

I think the Williams sisters are a little more reserved and often stick to themselves. With all the put downs, negative press, players and fan hate I think it makes sense that they do. It's a sort of defense mechanism to continously show love for themselves despite many attempts to tear them down.
