Venus Williams opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about overcoming uncertainty both on and off the tennis court
Tennis icon Venus Williams had to overcome fear and uncertainty 'all the time' throughout her career — and now she's sharing how she moved past the insecurity both on and off the court.
Formerly ranked No. 1 in the world in both singles and doubles, Williams has won seven Grand Slam singles titles — five at Wimbledon and two at the U.S. Open — along with seven doubles titles alongside sister Serena. Widely regarded as one of the best tennis players of all time, the athlete credits “never giving up” as a major reason for her success.
“There've been some crazy moments,” she recalled with a laugh. “The interesting part, I was like, ‘If I just win this one game, I know I can do it.’ And I won the game! I walking to the net and shaking the girl's hand. She looked at me, and I was like, ‘What are you gonna do?’ So, that was an awesome moment in itself.”
Of course, making a statement with fashion also means taking care of the clothes themselves. For that, Venus turns to Downy; a top of the game product perfect for a top of the line athlete.
