Serena Williams and Venus Williams are switching their tennis rackets for mics in their newest endeavor.
The sisters who have made a name for themselves over multiple tennis championship wins are getting behind the mic in a new podcast called Stockton Street -- which the sisters named after their childhood home in Compton, California.
The first episode, which is now live on X -- was filmed at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, the main arena of the US Open. The stadium has significance to the sisters as Venus won two of her seven Grand Slam titles and Serena won six of her 23.
In conversation with The Hollywood Reporter. the Williams sisters shared why they decided to start the podcast.
"As close as we are, we had to keep so many things distant because of our jobs,” Serena told the publication. "As much as she’s my sister, she’s also my opponent, and you can’t be as open as you want to be. So this a real opportunity to do something that we’ve been trying to do, and also just a discovery thing as well.”
In a preview for the first episode, they discuss playing against each other on the court and how it wavered which sister was the "better" player during different time periods.
“I feel like there was a period, though, where you were invincible and I couldn’t play better than you,” Venus said to Serena. “It was like, a two-year period.”
Serena then shared why she thinks she had an advantage over her older sister. “I think that’s when I went through my break up,” says Serena.
“I wish I would have broke up,” Venus replied, which caused the sisters to laugh uncontrollably.
In the podcast, the sisters want to share the true nature of their relationship as fans have been enquiring about for years.
“I think a lot of people have wondered, and I talk about this in the first episode, ‘Do we really actually like each other, because we have to play each other? Do you hate each other? Do you talk to each other?’” Venus told THR. “There’s so much in our relationship that we get to share that we never have before. There’s a lot to unpack.”
The first episode of Stockton Street is out now, and the following episodes will premiere Wednesdays on X.
