Venus and Serena Williams came from an unlikely background to dominate the world of tennis. Growing up in Compton, the girls were never expected to become the world’s biggest tennis champions. After the stellar coaching from their father Richard Williams, both Venus and Serena became tennis superstars.
Will Smith plays Richard in the inspiring true story of their coach and mentor over the years. He is an integral part of the story that carried the Williams sisters to victory.
