Richard Williams, the father of tennis superstars Serena and Venus Williams, has always had high aspirations for his daughters.
Talking to the U.S. Sun, he reflected on his vision for their future and the lessons he has learned along the way. It is clear that Richard Williams has always been a visionary, and his daughters have followed in his footsteps by charting their own unique paths.
"I was proud of them before they were even born. I wanted them to get money out of tennis, but it's a totally different world today, I'd have them focus on businesses as they have now, they're extraordinary."
However, Williams' aspirations for his daughters extend beyond their success on the tennis court. He has always encouraged them to think beyond the sport and pursue business opportunities that could provide long-term financial stability.
His son Chavoita, who was sitting next to him during the interview, added:
"I think what he means is, he sees life so differently. He realized in tennis there's a ceiling, and the ceiling is here [tournament wins]. But when you're in business, there is no ceiling, certain businesses. The sky's the limit."
