Those who enjoy reading about the mechanics of tennis will like this book more than I did。 Even when I was a tennis superfan （for more than thirty years）， I was never interested in reading about the players’ serves， returns， and volleys。 I thought this book would focus more on the tennis icon’s relationship to her father， her older sister Venus， her husband， daughter， and her celebrity friends。 Although Beyoncé is mentioned， Duchess Meghan isn’t。 Richard Williams appears in the book several time Those who enjoy reading about the mechanics of tennis will like this book more than I did。 Even when I was a tennis superfan （for more than thirty years）， I was never interested in reading about the players’ serves， returns， and volleys。 I thought this book would focus more on the tennis icon’s relationship to her father， her older sister Venus， her husband， daughter， and her celebrity friends。 Although Beyoncé is mentioned， Duchess Meghan isn’t。 Richard Williams appears in the book several times， but there is no discussion of how much his personality is reflected not only in Serena’s competitiveness and occasional temper tantrums but also in her love of celebrity。 Richard was clearly a hothead and a showboat。 The book doesn’t even mention Serena’s commercials for headaches and cars。 While several of the other women who had fathers who trained them to be tennis players—Mary Pierce， Steffi Graf， Monica Seles， Maria Sharapova， and Chris Evert— are briefly mentioned， there’s no discussion of the significance of a father gaining fame and money through training his daughter to play a sport that can lead to heartbreaking losses and even injuries。 Everyone’s talking about girl dads now; someone needs to write about tennis girl dads and maybe singer （Britney Spears， Jessica Simpson） girl dads。 I’m not a fan of Richard Williams or any of the other men who made money off of their daughters。 。。。more
