This is the most achieved by any player in history of the sport, only behind Margaret Court’s 24 Grand Slams record. Williams has reigned as the #1 Women Tennis player for a record of 319 weeks.
Venus is the elder sister of the two and has the record for winning 7 Grand Slam titles, 5 at the Wimbledon and 2 at US Open. She is also the Olympic champion from the 2000s Sydney Olympics. Both the Williams sister were coached by their parents Oracene Price and Richard Williams.
