The tennis world has been in a flurry of activity lately with the announcement that Richard Williams III, the son of Venus and Serena, would be playing the game for the first time. This is a momentous event and one that everyone is going to be watching closely. The game itself is exciting but the story of this player is what will make it truly unforgettable. Here are a few things you need to know about this talented young star.
Venus Williams
Richard Williams is the father of Venus and Serena Williams. They are tennis legends and the biopic King Richard is all about their life and career. In fact, the movie was nominated for five Oscars.
Although the movie does not directly show the actual life of the famous athlete, it does include many of the same details. The film follows Venus’ early career. For instance, the title says “King Richard” and it contains a scene that is based on a real interview.
The movie stars Saniyya Sidney as Venus and Demi Singleton as Serena. Their parents, Richard and Brandy, divorced in 2002. But the actor who plays the dad is not a real Richard, but Will Smith.
The movie also includes a lot of witty one-liners, including a reference to a tennis tournament, which is no longer held. The movie takes place in Compton, California, a rough, crime-ridden suburb.
Lakeisha Williams
If you are a fan of tennis, you may have heard about Richard Williams II and Lakeisha Williams. They are married and have one child. They have also been battling each other for years. Their marriage was allegedly based on money.
The couple had been married for eight years before they decided to split. However, there have been no real revelations as to why the marriage ended.
The two had a nine-year-old son together. The couple had moved into Williams’ sisters’ old house. They both suffered from strokes.
The divorce papers say that Lakeisha had a habit of imitating Richard’s writing. She was also accused of stealing Richard’s social security checks. They also shared a healthy sexual life.
When the divorce was filed in 2017, Richard claimed that Lakeisha was an alcoholic. He also claimed that she forged his signature on a loan.
The court ruled that Lakeisha had forged Richard’s signature and that she should pay him back $255,000. However, the court ruled that the divorce is not yet final. The court also ordered the auction of the property.
