"I try to be toxic to you": Serena Williams jokes with sister Venus Williams on personal growth

Former world number one Serena Williams left an interesting comment on a video shared by her featuring sister Venus.

The 43-year-old shared a video with her sister promoting her YouTube channel where the two talked about personal growth.

Just under the post, Serena posted an interesting comment stating: "I try to be toxic to you."

In that video, Venus can be seen talking about personal growth plays a big part in any athlete's life.

"I'm going to put my hand up because I like gossip and a little bit of drama just as much as the next person," she said. "But I prefer to probably just view other people's drama than actually have it in my life because it interferes with my productivity and it interferes with where I need to go. I just don't have the time for it.

"So first of all, you might be enjoying the attention. When you have all this drama, then you're getting more attention," she said. "It's almost like when that little kid throws a fit for their parents because they want the attention and the attention that they get. And also it's a way of controlling your environment too. So that attention will come and you thrive on it."

Venus is still playing and is a seven-time Grand Slam winner. Her most successful competition remains Wimbledon.

Her most recent major title triumph came in 2008 when she lifted the Wimbledon title after beating her sister in the final with a score of 7-5, 6-4.  

On the other hand, Serena, who retired from the sport in September last year, is regarded as the best player in the history of women’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 23 Grand Slam titles.

Her most successful competitions have been the Australian Open and Wimbledon, where she ended up lifting the title seven times each.
