"She’s not welcome at the facilities": Venus Williams jokes about banning Serena Williams from her home
WTA
Venus
Williams joked about her sister Serena Williams and the "robberies"
she has committed at her house.
The older
Williams sister participated in a Q&A interview on her social media, where
she answered some questions from fans in short videos. Her younger sister
Serena has shared prank videos in which she steals objects from Venus'
property, so the 7-time Grand Slam champion decided to ban Serena from entering
her house:
“Her
membership from Palm Beach flex was revoked. So, she’s not welcome at the
facilities. And we have a eye out for her to make sure she doesn’t come in to
cause mayhem. I’m sad it came to this but I’ve gotta start defending myself.
It’s been years. Years! Simply years of her carrying on like his and I’ve got
to stand up for myself,” Venus joked.
Venus
Williams also talked about "the craziest thing she ever done", and
she responded that she couldn't say specifically because she doesn't want her
mother to find out:
“Well, I
absolutely can’t say because then my mom would know. We can’t have that
happening. But for most part, I don’t do crazy stuff but, you know, there’s a
couple of things I’ve done,” she said.
Regarding
her ambitions that she did not achieve in tennis, the former world No. 1
mentioned the Australian Open and the French Open, especially because she was
close to achieving it, reaching the final in both (twice in the tournament
played in Melbourne). However, she highlighted Wimbledon as the best trophy:
“Ya, couple
of things. Probably like, French Open and Australian Open I’ve come so close.
Didn’t quite work out but more than anything, I just want to be healthy,” confesed
Venus.
“I mean,
clearly Wimbledon has the best trophy. That trophy’s cool. Yeah, just google
it,” she added.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
