Oracene Price

Both Venus and Serena are high-ranked professional tennis players who have won numerous Grand Slam tournaments.

The Williams family moved to Florida on the offer of Rick Macci to coach their daughters for free.

[4][5] By the end of 2000, Price was no longer living with her husband Richard Williams, and citing irreconcilable differences, they divorced in 2002.

[6][7] During a semifinal match between Serena and Justine Henin at the 2003 French Open, Williams was booed by fans after a complaint about a line call.

"[8] Tennis journalist and author L. Jon Wertheim has said of Price, "You have to respect anyone incapable of gloss or spin (i.e., unwilling to lie).

"[15] This approach was coupled with, according to noted tennis coach Nick Bollettieri, a respect that meant that neither Price nor Richard Williams raised their voices to their daughters.
