I know everyone has pet peeves about something in their lives. Venus, you give us wisdom with how to deal with them. I know you are talking about tennis, but i also think that you are giving us advice on how to deal with these issues off the tennis court. Venus, you are the best and i always look forward to anything you have to say. I wuvs you! 😍😍
One thing I’ve always loved so much about tennis is that managing one’s self is a major part of managing one’s game. Ms Venus exemplifies that classy aspect of the sport.
@@VenusWilliams Well my current pet dislike in tennis is trying to play on an Astro Surface (SOFT SURFACE). It makes the ball feel dull and half dead on the strings. So the ball is hard to feel on this surface, but easy to feel on hardcourts. The heavy drag is also a problem.
She's just so delightful, funny and like a happy little girl at heart and in spirit. Don't ever leave.. P.S. She was ridiculously fast . These new kids have nothing on 20 year old Venus.
and super intelligent and eloquent, despite the sound of youngster talk, with all the "likes" and minor "grammatical errors" SO DELIGHTFULLY HUMBLE despite all her accomplishments awards money disappointments hard-knocks et cet
I love this, it’s like coach tips! Gotta get more reaction videos of V watching herself like her best touch shots or match points! Always loved her mental toughness like HOW DID SHE WIN 2001 MIAMI?! (Saved 8 match pts.) Da Queen 👸
I really enjoyed this video y’all were cracking me up I knew you are y’all Venus but had no idea how tall I thought I was going to loose it when he said he didn’t like it when people smash their racket that it’s not the rackets fault and then you popped out with Serena doing it lol thank you for sharing
I’m such a huge fan that I remember when Venus played Roberta Vinci in China…Roberta was starting to serve when the ball boy was still running… totally agree with you V! ❤
Thank you for your video...my pet peeve in tennis is when my opponent doesn't look you in the eye when they shake your hand at the end whether they won or lost. Be humble and genuine! X
When Venus mentioned what her AO QF opponent did faking injury I had to check her record. Only two matches where Venus was coming from behind. One against Li Na in 2010 and another against Madison Keys. I think it was definitely Keys smh.
This video is awesome!! You’ve inspired so many people to pick up a racquet and play, including me. I think I’m equally inspired by your confidence and belief and I’ve learned so much watching you for life! Is another year like 2017 in store? 🤞🏻
Venus biggest choke to me was the USopen Quarterfinals 2008 and she knows why🤔 Best moving match in women's tennis Graf vs Venus Williams Quarterfinals Wimbledon 1999! IMHO 🤔 Well I'm bias because those are my two favorite players. It's the only match I wasn't rooting for Venus 🧐
Love these, thanks for sharing Venus! Your coach is so shy! Is he more lively off camera? Random pet peeve... I always play with two balls I may pocket before I start a point (obviously no ball boys lol), incase I hit a let of an ace. If my opponent notices and then deliberately won't give me the third ball, that's drives me nuts 🙈
I wait for your videos. Another super funny and informative one again. Keep them coming! Oh one of my HUGE pet peeves is an opponent who grunt’s unnecessarily. That really upsets me 😊
Was your friend with the high ball toss from the Czech Republic? LOL They often have high ball tosses. And let's not forget Steffi Graf's ball toss. When it's windy, they nearly have to chase it across the court after throwing it up, lol. But, for some reason, they seem to have good flat serves - maybe it's because they are forced to wsatch the ball so well because of the long flght time and potentioal for wind to affect the trajectory. Thoughts?
venus I have a question, after being around the courts for over 25 five years professionally, whats the worst and best thing about professional tennis?
Regarding the smashing of racquets - it depends on the person and situation for me. Context and regularity means a lot for me with this. There are countless kids (and adults) out there who would love to have a quality, precision piece of kit like a $400 racquet to play tennis with and I do hate the way some players just smash racquets over and over without seeming to give a toss about the waste. It isa definitely privilege and a sense of entitlement, and not a good example to be setting in te3rms of sportsmnship. But, if it's just once in a blue moon and in a REALLY huge moment, upsetting situation, terrible call - something like that, and it's someone like Federer or Venus who never do it, then I say whatever, let it go and move on - not worth mentnioning. Also, a lot of players, Nick Kyrgios is a noteworthy example, do a LOT of charity work for and with children, and by no means are neglecting to give back to society with the proceeds of their extreme goof fortune and luck and privilege at being able to play a sport for a living that earns them huge amount of money and allows them to see the world and live a very special kind of life. And so for Nick, it would be ignorant to say he should be giving his racquets to kids who don't have them when he smashes one - he goes way above and beyond in that area already. Djokovic smashes a lot of them, and has the attitude of a spoilt brat, and apparently thinks he's special and justified to put others at risk of COVID in order to do interviews or make money or attend PR revents, etc. When she smashes a racquet, I think he should be subject to having one smashed on his fact or crotch as punishment (his choice 🤪) - Just kidding, bnut I'm not a fan of Novak's.... lol
I love you Venus and you’re my favorite tennis player, but I don’t think you and Serena played well in doubles at the 2022 US Open. I hope to meet you one day!
@@najeehall1210 that's what I was thinking as well. I remember as far back as the 1998 and 99 quarters against Davenport and I don't recall any controversy over bathroom breaks. Then there was the 02 loss to Seles and I saw that on TV so it wasn't that. There was a loss to Ivanovic in 2008 but the way Venus describes the match, I don't think it was that one as Ana was on top pretty much all of that match, played amazing. Then there was Li Na I think in 2010? Could be. I don't recall it well. Or Keys in 2015 like you say.
Oh my gosh my pet peeve is I can’t listen to what he’s saying because I keep staring at his smile and face lol he is SO handsome ! V you best be carefulllll he’s giving you those love eyes.
Listen these Queens are living superhumans not just in their playing, but how they have managed great discipline, on the highest level and motivation ,big up yourself Venus ,yeah when you get mad ,slow it down ! 👑💜
Love the pet peeve and unprofessional chat. I think I'd asked them on Tennis Thursday so it's great to get a deeper insight from you both. What's your method for resetting when someone is triggering your peeves or being unprofessional?
So interesting getting to know you better, V! I thought I already knew you pretty well from watching so many of your matches but this is so different. I’m really enjoying getting to know you as a person and learning what’s on your mind and how you view things.
venus is so amazing. i don't think any multi-grand-slam-winning player in history has played -- after their last slam -- for as long as venus has. special
I love how Venus just confirmed that Roberta Vinci WAS wrong when she was getting mad cuz Venus was waiting for the ball boys in that match a few years back lol
Thank you for sharing this interesting and enjoyable conversation. Thank you also for all of the great content on this channel. It's very much appreciated.
I think being cognizant of the ball kids or not says a lot about someone’s character. It reminds me of that 2015 match with Vinci in the semi’s of Wuhan. I understand being frustrated and instinctively wanting the play to go faster, but you shouldn’t do it at the expense of a ball kid. I would have been fined for cussing at Vinci lol. “He’s still running” is a lot nicer than what I would have told her 😂
Venus is so warm and thoughtful. 😊I don't think I have ever seen her break a racquet. That is one aspect of her game that I don't believe gets enough credit. She is generally so calm and collected on the court. She is reminiscent of Chrissy, Steffi, and Monica in that aspect. (Though Monica wore her fire and competitiveness on her face, you never saw her explode with emotion.) I know some prefer the fiery personalities, but I appreciate the stoicism.
Omg, I just loooove you girl. I remember you having the Q&A sessions on the Eleven twitter page years ago and you would always answer my questions. I would always ask, “Do you remember me?” And you said “yes I remember you😊”. Anyway, I am so glad you’re doing this format for your fans. Love you girl!
Oh my goodness I loved this 😂❤! Now I’ve learned that you ran track when you were younger 😊. I’m guilty of forgetting how tall you are. With your height, and long limbs situation, I can understand why you retired yourself from running lol. As I’ve aged, my love of running is only in my mind, since my legs started saying, “Nope. Not today”, years ago 😂. Now I’m in love with cycling and appreciate the low impact on my joints.
Hi. This is really a great conversation. I wonder if there are protocols among players and WTA tour umpires. Like pros can't be too close with umpires or giving them gifts as friends to avoid being accused of biased judging during professional matches. Or pros and umpires can't be seen having meals or hanging out together. This might be an obvious question, just curious about some protocols or unwritten rules.... Amazing vlogs thank you so much 💚 .
I actually wish Venus would do more cardio to get her speed and stamina back to where it used to be. As for choking, that 08 USO QF was definitely on Venus's racquet.
Hey another great one! Thanks Venus and Eric! ❤️ Love all your videos but specially love the coaching (physical and mental) health, diet and 'life lessons'! (oh and your dog is super gorgeous too! 🤣😍) Big love from London Town and keep up the wonderful work ❤️🙏 x
