Coach Rick Macci reveals he didn’t think Serena Williams would be better than Venus Williams when Serena was 10. Macci, who famously coached the Williams sisters for four years, is widely credited for the early development of the two American tennis icons.
When Macci started coaching the Williams sisters, he instantly felt that Venus was the more mature one. However, Macci did also notice some special signs in Serena as well. “Was asked if I thought @serenawilliams would be better than @Venuseswilliams at age 10.
