In what will be her first time on court in six months, the seven-time Grand Slam champion participated in the 2024 edition of the Indian Wells Open. However, she was knocked out in the first round by qualifier Nao Hibino. She then competed at the Miami Open and suffered another first-round exit at the hands of Diana Shnaider.

Venus and Serena Williams made their mark in Hollywood with biographical sports drama film King Richard

HISTORYTalks 2022

Venus Williams and Serena Williams were executive producers of the biographical sports drama film "King Richard." The film was released on November 19, 2021, and received six nominations at the 94th Academy Awards and won the Best Actor award for Will Smith's performance.

Hollywood star Will Smith played the role of their father Richard Williams in the movie, while Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton portrayed Venus Williams and Serena, respectively. The movie depicted the upbringing and early stages of the careers of the Williams sisters and how their father followed through on his 78-page plan to write them into history, setting the foundation for who they have become today.

While discussing the movie with Forbes and reflecting on Richard Williams's portrayal, Serena Williams expressed that it was a valuable opportunity to showcase to the world his profound love for them and his prioritization of their enjoyment over everything.

"I think it was a great opportunity to see how amazing African-American fathers are. A lot of Black men aren't seen in that light. And a lot of people think that my dad was a different character. He wanted us to have fun first over anything. That's the thing that I loved most," Serena Williams said.
