Why Serena became a better tennis player than Venus

The first few episodes of Serena Williams' ESPN+ docuseries "In the Arena" Serena Williams" detailed Serena's childhood and rise to grand slam glory. But before Serena became the GOAT, she was in the shadows of her older sister Venus, who received most of the attention as the child prodigy. Serena won her first slam at the 1999 US Open before Venus edged ahead in the early 2000s. But Serena ultimately proved Richard's prophecy true and became the better Williams sister, due to her superior playing capabilities, mental toughness, and upbringing.
