Serena Williams shares one thing she was born with but Venus Williams

Serena Williams says she was born with the innate to always want to win and be the best in everything, while her sister Venus Williams didn’t have that.

During their childhood, the Williams sisters were coached by Rick Macci. Over the years, the 70-year-old spoke many times about how amazed and impressed he was by what he was seeing from the two at a very young age.

While she ultimately fell just short of beating Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Slams, some still argue that there are legitimate arguments to consider the American tennis icon as the greatest players in tennis history.

I would cry, throw a fit… It was innate for me to always have this drive to be the best and to win,” Serena said during her appearance on the New York Times’ DealBook Summit.

“That part was innate and Venus always said that she didn’t have that part. She learned it… I think you can get it both ways. I think it’s good that if you don’t have something, you can still develop it later on by working on it.”

When her career finished, the younger of the two sisters finished with a 19-12 record in their head-to-head. Of those 31 meetings, eight came in Grand Slam finals – the 43-year-old was triumphant on six occasions and twice lost.
