By Rajasik Mukherjee Modified 24 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Venus Williams sheds some light on her personal life Venus Williams recently took to social media to speak about her dream doubles partnership with Althea Gibson, the first black woman to win a Wimbledon title. The 42-year-old is a winner of 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and seven singles titles. The veteran recently posted a series of stories on her Instagram story after holding an AMA (ask me anything) and spoke about various topics, including her dream non-Serena doubles partner. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post The American replied by acknowledging that there was probably no better partner than Serena Williams. However, she also picked the Australian, Ashleigh Barty, while also revealing her hidden desire to play with Althea Gibson, the first African-American to win a Grand Slam title. "But once you've played with Serena...it's hard to get a better partner! Ashley (Ashleigh) Barty would be great! But it would have been amazing to play with Althea," the American stated. Barty won three Grand Slam singles titles, including the 2022 Australian Open, before hanging up her tennis boots earlier this year in March. In a different story, Venus Williams talked about her "BFF" (best friend forever) from school. She replied to a question asking her if she was still talking to her best friend from school, and the former World No. 1 cheekily replied that her sister Serena was her best friend. "Serena was my BFF, so yes," Venus Williams said.
