‘She Changed My Diapers’- Unable to Get Over Sister’s Death, Serena Williams Once Made a Heart-Wrenching Revelation about Life’s Flailing Uncertainty
The remorse and regret of premature loss stayed even after years of her passing. So, when the culprit got a lenient sentence, Williams wished nothing but to be able to share a warm moment with her deceased sister.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion had become the talk of the town with her sensational performance after her win at Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2003. However, hot on the heels of those victories came the most tragic news of her life. Williams faced a setback after finding out that her elder sister, Yetunde Price, was murdered in a drive-by shooting case.
This took a toll both on her career and mental well-being. As the youngest sibling, Serena Williams could not imagine being away from her eldest sister. In an interview with PEOPLE in 2007, she stated, “Yetunde and I were so close; she changed my diapers.” However, she had to make her peace with reality. She added, “But I finally came to an acceptance of things.”
