    As a father of two daughters, this story is insane. I’m very humbled by Richard Williams and only hope I can ever come close to being a father like him

      They blessed him with their presence. Anybody else could've coached but they didn't want to.

    As great as Rick Macci is, some of this is gonna be revisionist history. "I predicted Venus would win 5 Wimbeldons'..."I could tell...bla bla bla". The reality is lots of tennis prospects have potential. And they had coaches before & after Macci. (None of these coaches ever mention the tons of prospects who they thought would be great & didnt make it)

      I don’t prefer that pronunciation but it is sometimes permitted to pronounce D like T in English. Still think it’s wrong but just saying

    Richard Williams is a businessman and Rick gave them free tennis , Vic Braden was the best coach and his book Tennis for the future is the way forward ,,,, Richard Williams loved women and has lot of ex wives and children

      Yup Oracene is the secret weapon behind Serena’s serve. Oracene taught her whatever wrist flick she uses to direct her serve after disguising it.

    Rick takes a lot of credit for things he didn't initiate himself. He's still stuck in opportunity land since 1991 and HE'S BEEN MILKING IT.

    Felt really bad for the dude after what Serena did when he coached her mid-game in the US open. He at least had the dignity to admit it, while Serena went on an Oscar worthy rant

      She wasnt coached by this guy at that US open. At the US ope she had patrick mouratoglou. This guy Macci only coached her during juniors and a bit after that.

      Rick Macci hasn't been her coach since she was a child. Get a clue.
