When one sees or hears the story of the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, it goes without saying that they have achieved a level of tennis which may be unparalleled for many years to come as they have combined for over ten grand slam titles and even more as a doubles team. They have even taken two of the last three gold medals at the Olympics and there seems to be no end in sight for how much more they can achieve. What many people may not know is that their father Richard, took great steps to hone their skills and prepare them to achieve the goals they themselves set out to achieve without having played on the junior USTA circuit. In Eagle Pass, we may have the next coming of Venus Williams right in our very own back yard in 8 year-old Stela Sifuentes, the daughter of Karla (Head Tennis Coach at CC Winn High School) and Tony Sifuentes.
