<p>American tennis star Serena Williams has hailed father Richard for playing a &nbsp;significant role in sister Venus and her life.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 23-time Grand Slam champion said if not for her father&rsquo;s vision, they would not have achieved so much professionally and personally.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Williams told GQ&rsquo;s Wesley Lowery that her dad has been way ahead of his times. &ldquo;My dad was and still is way before his time. You see, when someone is different&mdash;when they don&rsquo;t act or look how a person assumed they would&mdash;the first reaction is often fear. They think, How do we break them? My dad anticipated that, but he would not allow himself or his family to be broken,&rdquo; remarked <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/serena+williams-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Williams</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The interest in the relationship between the father and his famous daughters has come into limelight with King Richard, a biographical film based on him, set to release in November.&nbsp;</p>
