Tennis coach Rick Macci has made an interesting revelation
regarding the Williams sisters. Both Serena and Venus dominated the world of women’s
tennis in the singles category over a long period of time.
Macci, who worked with Serena as a coach, in a post on his official
account on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — stated an
interesting fact as he revealed that Venus never lost to her youngster sister
during practice matches.
“@Venuseswilliams never lost to Serena in practice. Vee was
undefeated against the little Compton Pitbull. From 1991 to 1995 Richard
Refused to have them ever play each other as he said they would play each other
30 times on the tour. He was wrong. They played 31. 19 TO 12 Goat,” he wrote.
The statement was an interesting one as Serena had a far superior
record on the court in professional tennis while facing her elder sister where
she won on 19 occasions in 31 meetings and suffered just 12 defeats.

Serena is often regarded as the greatest player in the history
of women’s tennis in the singles category, having won as many as 23 Grand Slam
titles in her illustrious career.
Venus, who is still
playing the sport at the highest level, on the other hand, also has an
impressive record in professional tennis where she lifted the major titles
seven times.

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
