Coach Rick Macci reveals Serena Williams’ “most epic answer ever given as a kid” was telling a reporter that one day she “wants people to play like me.” In childhood, Williams was coached by Macci for four years. When Williams was 12, she was already considered one of the most promising girls in the United States.
30 years later, Macci still remembers one bossy answer Williams gave when she was just 12. “The MOST EPIC ANSWER @serenawilliams Ever gave as a kid in an interview was at age 12 when asked who do You want to play like someday? With no Hesitation or Delay right from her championship heart the Compton Crusher said and I quote I WANT PEOPLE TO PLAY LIKE ME SOMEDAY!” Macci wrote on X.
