This was a bold prediction, for the father was a neighborhood tennis coach and he knew that the odds of this happening were astronomical. After all, no Black person had dominated the game of tennis since Arthur Ashe won Wimbledon in 1975, and no Black woman had won a major tournament since Althea Gibson won the U.S. championships and Wimbledon in 1957 and 1958. But as it turned out, the father (aka Richard Williams) knew best. To the consternation of the tennis establishment and the delight of tennis fans, young Venus and her younger sister, Serena, climbed to the top of professional tennis. The journey was capped off last year by Serena's U.S. Open win, in which she beat No. 1-seeded Martina Hingis in straight sets.

Williams hasn't played since beating sister Venus in the Wimbledon final in July. She was hoping to return this month to defend her title at the Australian Open. "After conferring with my trainers and coaches, we really don't think that I've had sufficient time to prepare and train for it," Williams said in a statement. "My knee feels great, but my rehabilitation took a little longer than I expected. I'm on the courts daily, and look forward to coming back in championship form." Williams, who won five of six Grand Slam tournaments before her injury, had surgery on Aug. 1 to repair a partial tear in the quadriceps tendon of her left knee. She fell from No. 1 after the injury and entered this year ranked third. Associated Press Story Tools Click Here to try 4 Free Trial Issues of Time!

serena williams biography - part 1 menu Serena Williams has become one of the most exciting and closely watched players in tennis. Alongside Venus, her older sister, she forms half of a prodigal tennis pairing that has been stealing headlines for all the right reasons. CLICK HERE TO BET ON WIMBLEDON 2002 Serena Williams was born in Saginaw, Michigan, on the 26th September, 1981, the youngest of 5 sisters. Richard and Oracene Williams raised their family in Compton, a violent Los Angeles suburb. Serena's father was very keen for his daughters to become professional tennis players, and so encouraged the young sisters to start playing from an early age. Her early training took place on Compton's public tennis courts, where despite the social problems, her skills quickly developed. Serena was four and a half when she entered her first tournament. Richard Williams claims that she then proceded to win 46 of the next 49 tournaments she entered as a junior. Even as a child she received national press coverage and promises of lucrative product-endorsement deals. In 1991 her father took the unusual decision to withdraw both Serena and Venus from tournaments, hoping to shield them from competitive and possibly racial problems.
