While mainly frowned upon in the tennis community, breaking racquets gives Venus Williams joy when she sees her opponent doing it.
Venus Williams and her coach Eric Hechtman spoke in a recent video on her youtube channel. Williams said in the video that she enjoys it when her rivals lose their composure and shatter their racquets. She feels like a puppeteer because of it.
"I love to see someone smash their racquet, especially against me," said Williams with a joyful tone in her voice:
"It's like, 'Oh, just come, go ahead, go come undone, just unravel', and it's like this is all my doing and I am like I am the puppet master. You know, like I am Geppetto."
It was all part of her tennis pet peeves which also includes toilet breaks.
