On August 2nd during the American Tennis Federation’s Centennial Celebration, Richard Williams, father to Serena and Venus Williams, will be inducted into the American Tennis Hall of Fame.
The federation’s President Willie Emerson said, ‘The ATA has had a rich and colorful history and we will be honoring our past while focusing on the strategic plans for the next 100 years for Black Tennis in America’.
The father of two of America’s brightest tennis stars was the first coach for his daughters and is credited for their tough training regime that repeatedly placed them over stiff competition. What an inspirational story!
