Dare To Dream | Venus Williams' first Wimbledon title 

Precisely. She is the reason tennis is what it is today!! Much credit to her. What a campion. What an icon!

Yes she did❤️

She use to be built like Serena and stronger

How? Lindsay was the first baseline power player to win Wimbledon.

@@jamesyu5212 Davenport was a great player; an absolutely clean, pure striker of the ball, and an all-court player, but she lacked the movement and absolute tenaciousness and mental toughness of Venus and Serena. Before Venus, there were other tall women who played tennis, but none of them moved like her. They were generally slower, and unwieldy, like Davenport. Venus has the power that comes with being a bigger, taller athlete, but moves with the quickness and nimbleness of a smaller one. This was an unprecedented combination before her time, but is much more commonplace now. I would go even further to say that this phenomenon also translated into the men’s game, where more and more there are taller players who move well. Added to the Williams sisters’ power, movement and smarts was as I mentioned before, their mental toughness. Opponents know no matter the situation, they are always in for a fight with these two. This is why these woman reigned supreme for so long.

860anthony Yes! So true!

not only his father...their mother did equally if not more

@@yomommastupid No, he was the coach and leader as all the video's show.

@@dlkc2000 Serena and Venus specifically told the film makers of king Richard to show how their mom was very involved with their success.

@@derekberta8732 She downplayed and said the mother did more... I said no. Who is your reply to?

Beautiful!

@@LendaleJohnson86 pretty cool story 👍

Incredible honor to be there in ‘05!

OMG! Im so jealous. That 2005 match is still the most thrilling (& my favorite) final I’ve ever seen.

You're most welcome...

@@Wimbledon more venus videos!! We, her fans are mesmerized by her playing style and grace, especially at Wimbledon. Perhaps the konta match 07, kerber 16 or Sharapova 05?

I love Venus. I think she is so underrated and at one point was so much under the shadows of Serena. But Venus is a great champion, so accomplisched and successful and I am elated that she won her favourite tournament 5 times. Venus is one of the biggest legends in tennis.

We sure were! 🇯🇲

Same here in Bahamas!!

Ubuntu. When one of us laughs, we laugh, when they cry, we cry also - Ubuntu

I was maybe 8 at the time and glued to the TV! Nobody could tell me nothing about Venus or Serena! They introduced me to the world of tennis and knocking pot cover!!

Venus is not serena

@@RameshKumar-ud5uk Serena is the one who said it.

Don't forget Venus's Olympic medal history.

I agree. And since 2000, it’s really just been Serena, Venus and maybe Justine winning and playing tennis at the highest levels consistently…

@@iago07 thanks ,atleast someone remembered Justine the warrior.

And Kim too, that was a great time！

Meee I’m crying

She’s a great athlete but she’s for sure not in the top 5

A If we’re talking strictly women, there’s not a better athlete than Venus in her peak/prime. NOBODY could move around that court like she did. Not even her own sister

Nonsense. Steffi Graf is the greatest female tennis player of all time. Serena is 4th or 5th while Venus is around 13th.

@@TarHeelBlueFreak Steffi Graf is regarded by the vast majority of tennis analysts as the best mover the game has ever seen. Just watch their match at Wimbledon 1999. That was Steffi's last ever Slam and after three knee surgeries she still moved better and outplayed Venus who had one of her best years on tour. The two of them are completely incomparable. Steffi is just superior in every single aspect - speed, court coverage, movement, athleticism, mental strength, technique, discipline, work ethic, elegance, grace, beauty, etc. Even Richard Williams said back in the 90s that there will never be anyone like Steffi Graf again and he was right

@@PravoslavniVitez yeah an inflated grand slam count due to her fan taking out monica

King Richard movie will smith is playing their father

Whenever they play each other, it’s always crazy emotional nerves

My throat got thick. I was emotional too.

@@JasonWalkerJamaica personally I never enjoyed them playing against each other. it always seemed like Venus, being the big sister, struggled to play her best against Serena because as much as she wanted to win, she didn't want to see her little sister lose. and while Serena, as the younger sister, didn't worry about that as much, it seemed like she didn't particularly want to beat her sister either.

Tbh i think it was staged, serena maybe told to lose to venus by their father, since she already won US open.

@@Irishb0y Cannot be discounted. The family loyalty to dad was crazy, as is the love between the two sisters

We'll all be back together again soon ☺️

Evonne Goolagong is an Australian Aboriginal. They are in fact, black people. It may have only been a brief moment in the mid-70's that she achieved a world number ranking but it's legit. She also won 7 Grand Slam titles. So she would be the most successful black tennis player before the Williams era.

@@westozzy Evoone is a true hero for all of Australia.

Steffi Graf is the greatest mover the game has ever seen. As for Venus, she is not an all-time great. The only all-time greats are Wills, Court, Evert, Navratilova, Graf and Serena Williams. Venus is somewhere around the 13th best after the aforementioned ladies and others such as Billie Jean King, Lenglen, Connolly, Goolagong, Seles and Henin.
