Venus Williams made her feelings known about the rumors surrounding her and Serena Williams' dynamic

Venus Williams recently sat for an interview with Marie Claire, where she answered the questions surrounding the ins and outs of her bond with her sister, Serena Williams. She opened up about how some people made claims about their bond being fake as they competed against each other at various tournaments.

Addressing these claims, Venus spoke about the fascination around her and her sister's dynamic.

"There’s been kind of a fascination about Serena and I, right? Because we played [against] each other so many times and people were like: ‘How do they, like, get along? Do they really like each other? They’re just faking it,” Venus Williams said laughing.

She added:

"So we’re really excited to actually share more of ourselves. I don’t think a lot of people know that much about us when it really comes down to it, especially our dynamic together," Venus mentioned.
