Williams was born in Lynwood, California, to Richard Williams and Oracene Price. Her talents were apparent at the age of seven when a professional local tennis player named Tony Chesta spotted Williams and quickly identified her potential in the sport.
The Williams family moved from Compton, California, to West Palm Beach, Florida, when she was thirteen, so that she and her sister Serena could attend the tennis academy of Rick Macci, who took notice of the sisters and who would provide additional coaching.
He did not always agree with Williams’ father but respected that “he treated his daughters like kids, allowed them to be little girls”.
A former world No. 1 in both singles and doubles, Williams has won seven Grand Slam singles titles, five at Wimbledon and two at the US Open. She is widely regarded as one of the all-time greats of the sport.
Venus williams Height
When it comes to tennis, height can certainly help, which may have also factored into Serena wanting to look more like her sister.

| Weight | 75 kg or 165 pounds |
| Breast Size | 35 inches |
According to CNN, only two male players under 6 feet tall were in the top 15. Taller players can generally serve with more force, making it more difficult for the opponent to match that energy.

She met Elios Pis when he modelled for her clothing line. They dated until 2015 and finally split in 2017.

When asked about her views on marriage, Williams told Cosmopolitan, “I have a lot of friends who don’t believe me when I say that I like my life and I don’t want to change it for any reason.
I’m not desperate and they don’t believe me. They say things like, ‘You’re going to miss your window.’ I’m like, ‘Please, relax. You might feel this way, but I don’t. I promise you I don’t”
