Venus Williams has praised her sister Serena Williams after it was announced the 23-time Grand Slam singles winner had been inducted into the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame.
During her legendary career, Serena won an astonishing 23 Grand Slam singles titles and 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, all of which she won with her sister, Venus. Meanwhile, Venus, who is set to make a tennis comeback later this month at the Washington Open after the tennis world watched Jannik Sinner defeat Carlos Alcaraz in a major final at Wimbledon, won seven Grand Slam titles.
Arguably, the greatest pair of siblings any sport has ever seen, they both starred on the Olympic stage, too. Both Williams sisters have four gold medals to their name, three doubles golds they won together in 2000, 2008 and 2012, and a singles gold apiece.
Recently, it was announced Serena would be inducted into the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame, a decision which the 23-time Grand Slam singles winner admitted was an “incredible honor”.
Posting on Instagram, she wrote: “What an incredible honor to be inducted into the #TeamUSAHOF ! It’s been a journey filled with hard work, grit, and passion.
“I’m so proud of everything I’ve poured into this sport, and I’m beyond grateful for all the love and support along the way. This moment means the world. Thank you.”
Those words were then echoed by her sister, who posted her own appreciation post on Instagram following Serena’s achievement. “The biggest congrats to @serenawilliams on being inducted into the #TeamUSAHOF!,” wrote Venus.
“Watching your hard work and determination has been the biggest honor. Proud of you today and every day, sis.”
And while Serena has hung up her racket, Venus looks set to pick hers up for what would be her first competitive match in 16 months, after she accepted a wildcard for the Washington Open.
“There’s something truly special about DC – the energy, the fans, the history,” said Williams in a statement following the news of her comeback.
“This city has always shown me so much love and I can’t wait to compete there again.”
