The two tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams and the actor have a joint project.
“Don't miss it,” warn Venus and Serena Williams. The two former number 1 players support Hollywood star Will Smith on Instagram with the announcement of his new film “King Richard”, which is due to be released in November.
Richard, that is the father of the successful tennis sisters who have shaped the sport significantly. Richard Williams, who never played tennis himself, trained his two daughters as children and, according to his own statements, drafted a 78-page plan for their later careers. Today the two sisters are among the best players in tennis history.
When Richard Williams wanted to take care of their athletic training at the time, he stood in front of closed doors several times. A family with no resources could not hope to produce successful tennis players, he had to hear.
But in the end he played a key role in ensuring that his daughters Venus and Serena even got the chance to become two of the most extraordinary athletes in the world.
The movie “King Richard” is based on the true story of the Williams family and how their daughters ended up on the center courts of the world from the streets of Compton, California.
