Serena Williams said that while she would not want her daughter Olympia to play tennis, Venus Williams offered to coach her but did not want to travel.
After Serena beat Russian qualifier Evgeniya Rodina to reach the quarterfinals of the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, she was asked in her post-match press conference if she wanted her daughter to pursue tennis as a career.
In response, the American said that she hoped Olympia would not play tennis and added that her sister Venus said she would coach her but did not want to travel. The former World No. 1 also stated that she wasn’t sure if she had the patience to be a good tennis coach.
Asked about the sacrifices her parents made throughout her career and how she related to them having become a parent herself, the 23-time Grand Slam champion said that she could not do for her daughter what her parents did for her.
At the same press conference, Serena Williams said that she wouldn’t want her daughter Olympia to play tennis as she would not want her to have any pressure from her mother’s achievements, which included the media comparing the mother-daughter pair.
