Unsurprisingly, it has been one of the most lauded movies of the year's award season. It tells the tale of how their father, Richard Williams, backed his daughters so much he crafted an 84-page plan, moved the family across state lines, and stopped at nothing to ensure they achieved their tennis dreams. Their family's story - which has been brought to life in the film King Richard - is one of triumph against all odds.

She served as an executive producer on the movie King Richard, which follows the life of her father Richard Williams.

Oscars 2022 - Venus and Serena Williams introduce Beyonce's ... (ESPN Australia)

The 2022 Academy Awards started off with a bang when the Williams sisters took the stage to tee up Beyonce performing from their hometown tennis courts.

It was perfectly fitting that Beyonce would perform on the Lueders Park courts that were officially rebranded as the Venus and Serena Williams Court of Champions in 2016. Then, the camera panned to the court, where Beyonce was accompanied by dozens of dancers and musicians, including her and Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy. In the Will Smith-starring film about the Williams sisters' upbringing, Beyonce's song that she co-wrote with Dixson (real name Darius Scott), plays under the end credits.

An Oscar night that should have affirmed Serena and Venus's rise to stardom instead played out in a way they have seen before — triumph tempered by mixed ...

When Serena Williams returned to the court for her final against Kim Clijsters, with Richard and Venus in the stands, there were boos throughout the match, and Richard and Venus said they heard racial slurs from some fans. Instead, it turned into a night for Serena to cover her eyes, but, cinema, even when it is an Oscar-winning true story, won’t be the last word on the Williams sisters, or their father. In 2001, the family came to Indian Wells, Calif., and was booed by the crowd after Venus Williams withdrew from her semifinal match against Serena Williams shortly before it was to begin because of an injury. In 1997, Venus Williams made her first major impact at a Grand Slam tournament, reaching the final of the U.S. Open at age 17 with white beads in her hair and thunder in her strokes. Serena won the title, but triumph again had a bitter taste. But her breakthrough took on another dimension when she and the Romanian player Irina Spirlea bumped into each other on a changeover during their semifinal. And the story should have been this miraculous thing.” Richard Williams, complex and frequently difficult to read, certainly created some of the friction and misunderstandings with the wider world. Just face the facts.” Last night was just unfortunate because it was just such a celebration of a story that you just cannot make up and unfortunately now that slap is the story. The table was set for a moment of family triumph. Macci said Williams was diminished after two strokes, but that they were still able to exchange stories.
