The fact that the family had relocated to Compton was no accident. At the age of three, practicing on a court not far from the family's new Compton, California, home, Serena withstood the rigors of daily two-hour practices from her father. Serena's father - a former sharecropper from Louisiana determined to see his two youngest girls succeed - used what he'd gleaned from tennis books and videos to instruct Serena and Venus on how to play the game. The youngest of Richard's five daughters, Serena and her sister Venus would grow up to become great tennis champions. Serena Jameka Williams was born on September 26, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan, to Richard and Oracene Williams. In 2017, she defeated her big sister at the Australian Open to claim the 23rd Grand Slam singles title of her career. Along with her individual success, Serena has teamed with sister Venus Williams to win a series of doubles titles. She won her first major championship in 1999 and completed the career Grand Slam in 2003.
Williams began intensive tennis training at age three. Serena Williams is an American professional tennis player who has held the top spot in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings numerous times over her stellar career.
