Richard Williams – 80 Years Old

Richard Williams was previously an American tennis coach and the father of tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams. After watching Virginia Ruzici play on television, he decided that his daughters would be tennis professionals and wrote a plan. He began giving them lessons and took them to public courts to practice when they were about four and a half years old.

Williams withdrew them from a tennis academy in 1995 to focus solely on coaching them. By 1999, Serena Williams had won the US Open; the following year, her sister, Venus, won the 2000 Wimbledon title. In November 2021, his biographical movie was released, which received critical acclaim.
