5 Tennis players who were coached by their mothers

Denis Istomin has been coached by his mother from a very young age

#1 Venus and Serena Williams

Both the Williams Sisters are coached by their mother Oracene Price

The Williams Sisters are considered to be two of the world’s best players to have set foot on a tennis court. Both have been ranked World No.1 and have won a total of 61 Grand Slam titles combined, 23 for Venus, and 38 for Serena.

Venus and Serena come from a tennis background as both their mother and father are tennis coaches. They were coached by both their parents for a long period of time until they divorced in 2002. Since then, their mother Oracene Price has been a more prominent figure on court than their father Richard Williams.

Price has so far coached both her daughters to a total of 120 titles, 49 for Venus and 71 for Serena.

Venus Williams and Father Richard recall one match that 7-time Grand Slam champion "should have won"
