Serena Williams has been the best player in the women’s category and her records and titles substantiate to this. In her prime Serena was unstoppable, she has achieved certain feats which may never be broken at any point in time.
She has a total of 73 WTA titles to her name and reaching this number for any new generation players would be quite a bit difficult.
Serena made her professional debut in tennis in 1995 and won her first grand slam title by winning the US Open title in 1999.
Ever since then she has been an extremely dominating figure in tennis. Serena and her sister were earlier coached by Rick Macci, who was a hall of fame.
Both Serena Williams and Venus Williams had to face a lot of difficulties and struggle to reach the place they are at currently. Unlike the other women tennis players, Serena was ripped and had a strong physique. Her former coach Macci recently tweeted about her physique.
Rick Macci claims Serena Williams has an incredible genetic structure
Macci revealed a couple of interesting things about Serena’s physique on Twitter, he stated,
“When Serena started winning at a young age everybody asked me if she took steroids because she looked ripped. I would shake my head smile and say she is ripped because of the genetic jackpot. Speed quickness agility eyes and hands. Under the hood a COMPTON STREET FIGHT!”

Both Serena and her sister had rock-solid physiques which would intimidate their opponents and also contributed to their dominance on the tennis court for more than two decades.
Their parents, Richard Williams and Oracene Prince played a massive role in their development. After they started getting coached by Macci, they developed their skills and grew incredibly fast.
Serena has returned back to tennis after a year’s worth of a hiatus due to an injury which she picked up in the opening round of the Wimbledon 2021.
She reached the semifinals of Eastbourne but had to withdraw after her partner Ons Jabuer got a right knee injury.
It would be expected that Serena would be completely focused on her Wimbledon matches and she would try and prove a point that she still has something left to perform at this age against the likes of Iga Swiatek and other new-generation tennis players.
She would be eyeing that 24 Grand Slam feat which would make her catch up with Margaret Court’s records.
