#2 Venus and Serena
Trending
This one’s not a film so much as it is a documentary. 2012’s Venus vs Serena offers a look into the lives of two of the best players of our generation, and perhaps of all time. An off-the-cuff, yet ‘officially sanctioend’ biopic, it touches upon not only the sisters but their tennis-coach parents, Richard Williams and Oracene Price.
Unlike many others sports documentaries, this one is not overtly sanitized, and also features Richard Williams’ new partner and daughter.
It follows the sisters’ entire career trajectory, from childhood tennis prodigies to young adults struggling through a multitude of issues they faced growing up.
Charting their highs and lows, it sees Venus’ earliest injury struggles – and Serena's career lows.
Not so much a film, arguably, as it is a highlight reel of the Williams’ best – and some of their lowest – moments until 2012, the documentary is an interesting compilation of Serena and Venus’ brightest moments.
