American tennis legends, Serena and Venus Williams changed the perspective of how people looked at women’s tennis. They inspired young players, especially girls of color, to pick up the racket and smash some balls. Among them was Coco Gauff, who was massively inspired by the Williams sisters’ achievements when she was still a kid. The Williams sisters were one of the reasons that empowered Gauff to excel in the sport.
With her unique style of play and laudable achievements in the early days of her career, Gauff has often been compared to Serena and Venus Williams. While the resemblance of play is rooted in facts, it also comes from watching the sisters play on the television screen right from a young age. Recently, Gauff revealed how the duo enabled her to realize her dream.
