Venus Williams is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. She and her sister, Serena, have won more trophies together than any other sibling duo in sports history.
Venus made a significant statement when she declined to play a game against Joe “Josepheena” LaBarron of France.

“I’m not trying to be the next Billie Jean King,” she added. “I’ll play any man for charity or for fun, but this is my livelihood,” Venus claims she has never lost a competition to a guy since she has never participated in one, and she has no plans to start now.
Venus raised her fist on her way out and earned a standing ovation.
