Serena, Venus Williams donate $1million to a tennis facility

Serena and Venus Williams are by far the most successful siblings in tennis history.  Together they have won 121 single titles, 30 slams and they have been world no.1 for countless weeks.

The Williams sisters are not coming from a privileged elite, but they had to find their way in the pro-tennis with the help of their father. Serena and Venus have decided to donate $1million to a tennis facility toward the 26-court complex and museum that will be built at Miramar Regional Park.

The center court will be named after their father Richard that was recently inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport.

Albert Tucker, vice president of Multicultural Business Development for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention commented

“One of the things that will be emphasized at this center is identifying local talent and helping those youth connect to proper training and guidance so that they can continue at the next level.”

Fantastic stuff!
