The '''Williams sisters''' are two American professional [[tennis]] players: [[Venus Williams]] (b. 1980), a seven-time [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Tournaments|major]] singles champion, and [[Serena Williams]] (b. 1981), a 23-time major singles champion, both of whom were coached from an early age by their parents [[Richard Williams (tennis coach)|Richard Williams]] and [[Oracene Price]].

The Williams sisters partake in “one of the elite ‘country club’ sports in America,” a sport that was not—along with many others—open to female participation in the past (Smith & Hattery, 75).<ref>SMITH, EARL, and ANGELA J. HATTERY. “VENUS AND SERENA WILLIAMS: Traversing the Barriers of the Country Club World.” A Locker Room of Her Own: Celebrity, Sexuality, and Female Athletes, edited by David C. Ogden and Joel Nathan Rosen, University Press of Mississippi, 2013, pp. 72–91. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt24hvp6.9. Accessed 28 Sept. 2023.</ref> When the sport was introduced as a form of leisurely activity in the United States, “many clubs would not allow women to be members” (Smith & Hattery, 76). Furthermore, their status as successful [[African American]] athletes within a historically White sport—in spite of openly racist backlash they encountered during their careers—has been credited with opening up the sport of tennis to a truly multicultural audience.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/serena-williams-legacy-tennis-ee13cdc0dfaebf9d8afe51c2935622f4|author=Aaron Morrison|publisher=[[Associated Press]]|date=26 August 2022|title=Serena's example: Tennis icon's impact felt in Black America}}</ref>

Both sisters have been ranked by the [[Women's Tennis Association]] at the world No. 1 position in both [[List of WTA number 1 ranked singles tennis players|singles]] and [[List of WTA number 1 ranked doubles tennis players|doubles]]. In 2002, after the French Open, Venus and Serena Williams were ranked world No. 1 and No. 2 on singles, respectively, marking the first time in history that sisters occupied the top two positions. On 21 June 2010, Serena and Venus again held the No. 1 and No. 2 rankings spots in singles, respectively, some eight years after first accomplishing this feat. At the time, Serena was three months shy of her 29th birthday and Venus had just celebrated her 30th birthday.

There was a [[Williams sisters rivalry|noted professional rivalry]] between the sisters in singles — between the [[2001 US Open – Women's singles|2001 US Open]] and the [[2017 Australian Open – Women's singles|2017 Australian Open]], they contested nine major finals. They became the first two players, female or male, to contest four consecutive major singles finals, from the [[2002 French Open – Women's singles|2002 French Open]] to the [[2003 Australian Open – Women's singles|2003 Australian Open]]; Serena famously won all four to complete the first of two "Serena Slams" ([[Grand Slam (tennis)#Non-calendar-year Grand Slam|non-calendar year Grand Slam]]s). Between 2000 and 2016, they collectively won 12 Wimbledon singles titles (Venus five, and Serena seven). Nonetheless, they remain very close, often watching each other's matches in support, even after one of them had been knocked out of a tournament.

By winning the [[2001 Australian Open – Women's doubles|2001 Australian Open doubles title]], they became the fifth pair of women to complete the [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Career Grand Slam|career Grand Slam]] in doubles, and the first pair to complete the [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Career Golden Slam|career Golden Slam]] in doubles. At the time, Venus and Serena were only 20 and 19 years old, respectively. Since then, they went on to add another two Olympic gold medals at the [[Tennis at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's doubles|2008 Beijing Olympics]] and the [[Tennis at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's doubles|2012 London Olympics]]. Moreover, the duo achieved a non-calendar year Grand Slam in doubles between [[2009 Wimbledon Championships – Women's doubles|2009 Wimbledon]] and [[2010 French Open – Women's doubles|2010 Roland Garros]], which made them the [[List of WTA number 1 ranked doubles tennis players|co-No. 1 doubles players]] on 7 June 2010. Their last major doubles title came at the [[2016 Wimbledon Championships – Women's doubles|2016 Wimbledon Championships]].

Both players won four gold medals at the [[Tennis at the Summer Olympics|Olympics]], one each in singles and three in doubles&mdash; all won together&mdash; the most of any tennis players. Venus also won a silver in mixed doubles at the 2016 Rio Olympics. As a duo, they completed the [[Career Golden Slam#Career Golden Slam|double career Golden Slam]] in doubles.  Between the two of them, they have completed the [[Grand Slam (tennis)#Boxed Set|Boxed Set]], winning all four major events in singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles; they split the four mixed doubles titles in 1998.

* Neither withdrawals nor walkovers are included in wins and losses.

Note: Serena Williams did not play at the 2004 Olympics because of injury. Venus partnered with American [[Chanda Rubin]] and lost in the first round to eventual gold-medalists [[Sun Tiantian]] and [[Li Ting (tennis, born 1980)|Li Ting]].

==Boycott of the Indian Wells Open==
During the [[2001 Indian Wells Open]] tournament in [[Indian Wells, California]], [[Venus Williams]] withdrew four minutes prior to her semifinal match with her sister [[Serena Williams|Serena]].<ref name="What Happened"/>

The following day, Serena played [[Kim Clijsters]] in the final. As [[Richard Williams (tennis coach)|Richard Williams]] and Venus made their way to their seats, the crowd booed, and some spectators yelled verbal jabs.<ref name="What Happened">{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/columns/story?columnist=drucker_joel&id=3952939|title=Drucker: The story behind the Williamses and Indian Wells|date=March 11, 2009|website=ESPN}}</ref> Serena was booed often during the match, which she won 4–6, 6–4, 6–2, and the booing continued into the presentation ceremony.<ref name="What Happened"/>

Richard accused the crowds at Indian Wells of overt racism, saying, "The white people at Indian Wells, what they've been wanting to say all along to us finally came out: 'Nigger, stay away from here, we don't want you here'". When Venus was asked about her father's statements, she said, "I heard what he heard."<ref name="What Happened"/><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010413163919/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/tennis/news/2001/03/26/ericsson_open_ap/ "Off-court distractions"] CNN/SportsIllustrated.

===Effects and criticism===
After the initial controversy, neither Williams sister played the [[Indian Wells Open|tournament in Indian Wells]] for 14 years. The [[Women's Tennis Association]] currently classifies the Indian Wells tournament as a [[WTA Premier tournaments|Premier Mandatory]] event for all eligible players.<ref name="What Happened"/> Exceptions are made when players engage in tournament promotions, but Venus and Serena both declined to promote the tournament; WTA Tour CEO [[Larry Scott (sports administrator)|Larry Scott]] agreed he would not, promotionally, "put them in a position that is going to be awkward", and tournament director Charlie Pasarell has stated he would accept the WTA tour's ruling.<ref name="What Happened"/>

Allegations had been made before Venus's withdrawal that Richard Williams decided who won the matches between his daughters.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.thestar.com/article/606277|title=Williams sisters at Indian Wells? Forget it|last1=Woolsey|first1=Garth|access-date=2015-03-21|date=2009-03-22|newspaper=[[Toronto Star]]}}</ref> Those allegations continued and increased as a result of her withdrawal.<ref name="What Happened"/>

Richard has said that racial epithets were used against him and Venus as they sat in the stands during the final.<ref>Edmondson, p. 91</ref>

Serena discusses what happened in her view at Indian Wells in detail in an entire chapter titled "The Fiery Darts of Indian Wells" in her 2009 autobiography, ''On the Line''. She says that on the morning of the semifinal, Venus told the tour trainer that she had injured her knee and didn't think she could play and tried for hours to get approval from the trainer to withdraw, but the tournament officials kept stalling.

<blockquote>What got me most of all was that it wasn't just a scattered bunch of boos. It wasn't coming from just one section. It was like the whole crowd got together and decided to boo all at once. The ugliness was just raining down on me, hard. I didn't know what to do. Nothing like this had ever happened to me. What was most surprising about this uproar was the fact that tennis fans are typically a well-mannered bunch. They're respectful. They sit still. And in Palm Springs, especially, they tended to be pretty well-heeled, too. But I looked up and all I could see was a sea of rich people—mostly older, mostly white—standing and booing lustily, like some kind of genteel lynch mob. I don't mean to use such inflammatory language to describe the scene, but that's really how it seemed from where I was down on the court. Like these people were gonna come looking for me after the match. ... There was no mistaking that all of this was meant for me. I heard the word ''nigger'' a couple times, and I knew. I couldn't believe it. That's just not something you hear in polite society on that stadium court ... Just before the start of play, my dad and Venus started walking down the aisle to the players' box by the side of the court, and everybody turned and started to point and boo at them ... It was mostly just a chorus of boos, but I could still hear shouts of 'Nigger!' here and there. I even heard one angry voice telling us to go back to Compton. It was unbelievable ... We refused to return to Indian Wells. Even now, all these years later, we continue to boycott the event. It's become a mandatory tournament on the tour, meaning that the WTA can fine a player if she doesn't attend. But I don't care if they fine me a million dollars, I will not play there again.</blockquote>

However, on February 3, 2015, Serena Williams wrote an exclusive column for ''Time'' magazine stating her intentions to return to Indian Wells for a tournament on March 9, 2015. She did indeed return and won her opening match.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wtatennis.com/SEWTATour-Archive/posting/2015/609/MDS.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2015-03-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315000522/http://www.wtatennis.com/SEWTATour-Archive/posting/2015/609/MDS.pdf |archive-date=2015-03-15 }}</ref> Williams withdrew before her semi-final match with [[Simona Halep]] because of a knee injury.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/12528621/serena-williams-withdraws-indian-wells-semifinal-knee-injury|title=Serena Williams WDs at Indian Wells|work=ESPN|date=2015-03-21|access-date=2015-03-21}}</ref>
