Serena Williams wished sister Venus Williams success on the launch of her new wellness book ‘Strive: 8 Steps to Find Your Awesome’. The 23-time Grand Slam champion was also joined by her husband Alexis Ohanian to support Venus Williams’ latest endeavor.
Apart from turning author, the seven-time Grand Slam champion is also an entrepreneur. She is the founder of a plant-based protein company Happy Viking, a design firm V Starr, and an interior design platform Palazzo.
This is Williams’ second book release. Her debut book titled ‘Come to Win’ was launched in 2010.
Venus Williams took to Instagram to share a short video on what “fulfillment” meant to her and that the book outlined how to achieve it.
Serena Williams re-shared a part of the video on her Instagram story and tagged her sister.
Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian took to X to share words of encouragement for Williams along with details of where to buy the book.
Through the book, Williams shares the wisdom, collected over her 3-decade long career, with the readers. She was last seen on-court as a wildcard entry at the 2024 Indian Wells and the Miami Open.
Former World No. 1 Venus Williams struggled both on and off court in 2011. She was forced to retire from the third round of that year’s Australian Open and was later diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Sjorgen syndrome mid-way at the 2011 US Open. It was the first time that the American exited the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam event.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Venus recalled her sister’s support at the time and the two of them signing up for a wellness retreat together to manage her condition. Venus Williams shared a hilarious incident where the sisters longed for a steak and escaped for a night.
