In video, “The Williams Method”, the trailer
Serena Williams is barely 4 years old when she picks up her first tennis racquet. Born in 1981 in Michigan, she grew up with her family in the suburbs of Los Angeles where her father Richard introduced her to tennis alongside her older sister Venus, who would also become a first-class player. Through hard training, Serena managed to enter the professional circuit at the age of 14. In the 1999 final, she managed to beat world No.1 Martina Hingis. She thus won the first Grand Slam tournament of her career, and saw herself propelled onto the front of the stage. Over the seasons, she built up an extraordinary track record on the women’s circuit and became world No. 1 for the first time in 2002. She won a total of 23 Grand Slam singles tournaments. Venus will have a total of seven Grand Slam titles during her career, won at the US Open and Wimbledon.
