If women's tennis mattered much, then maybe. As much as i hate the Manning family, I'd have to go Archie. Two superbowl winning QB sons .. that's pretty amazing..

The manning boys grew up in the garden district to an NFL Qb and became NFL QBs themselves. The Williams sisters grew up black in Compton with two poor normal parents and became a dominate force in tennis, freaking tennis. I hate Richard Williams and I hate the race card but what they have become from where they started is remarkable

Richard Williams taught two men how to dominate a sport filled with country club debutantes.

Is that supposed to have made it easy or something? There are, like, 29 or 30 QBs who have ever won a Super Bowl, and two of them are the same guy's sons?! That's nuts!

The Williams' story is equally amazing.

You're pitiful, dude. Not even worthy of a response honestly.

Like anything else, continuous practice and repetition results in good results. Their athleticism adds to their greatness.
I don't like Richard, but he taught them well and his good for some of his absurd quotes and beliefs.

You're right. Pretty much everyone looked and had the physical training that the Williams sisters had.

They served on the level that no one had ever seen on that tour before. They came worth power and technique. Things that were not common to the women's tour.

Never said it made it easy. But it made it a whole lot easier. However both are still very improbable

Well, every possible genetic and monetary advantage possible given.

I'm not trying to shite on it, but it'd be more surprising if they didn't turn out successful (other than injury like Coop).

By your logic, we should thus assume that Joe Jackson is the greatest musical dad ever?
