Venus Williams took to Instagram to express pride in her younger sister Serena who was recently honored at the 37th Annual Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. The 23-time Grand Slam champion was presented with the Legend Award for her cultural influence and incredible career.
The award was presented by singer Kelly Rowland, whom Serena called a “special, wonderful friend.” In her acceptance speech, Serena thanked her family and friends and gave a heartfelt shoutout to her sister, Venus Williams.Recognizing Serena Williams as a role model who has inspired multiple generations, Nickelodeon stated:
“Serena’s story proves that through hard work and perseverance, everyone can become a legend.”
The award holds a high significance in pop and sporting culture, as global superstars like David Beckham and Kobe Bryant have also been honored by the glittering gold trophy of the network’s iconic orange blimp.
Thanking the young crowd for their reception, Serena Williams said:
“You guys are the greatest crowd ever. I needed you all of those years at Wimbledon. I look at this crowd, filled with so many budding little legends, and I want all of you to know that noma and whatever your dreams are, you can achieve anything you put your mind to. If I can do it, you can do it.”
Venus Williams shared the post on her Instagram story, captioning the post:

Serena and Venus Williams’ incredible support for each other on and off the court over the years

Day Four: The Championships – Wimbledon 2016
From starting their journey at the public tennis courts of Compton to the grand stages of Wimbledon, Serena and Venus Williams have always had each other’s back.
As heavily appreciated by the public from Will Smith’s Oscar-winning performance in ‘King Richard,’ it was evident that the Williams sisters came as a team. Having faced each other 31 times at the highest stages and nine times in Grand Slam finals, they have always been a class act, showcasing the dominance of the Williams household in the sport.Serena has often referred to her elder sister as a ‘rock,’ signifying the importance of her support in the legendary player’s life. Venus, being the elder sister, often paved the way for Serena and was considered ‘a freak’ in her prime. However, as Serena found momentum later in her career, she almost became undefeatable for a point. Irrespective of their achievements, their ego never entered their beautiful relationship.In 2011, when Venus was diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease, Serena was her closest supporter, encouraging her to continue, adapt and recover. Similarly, when Serena suffered from a pulmonary embolism in the same year and the challenges of motherhood, Venus never left her side. Their partnership showed the world that true success is often shared and challenges are best faced together.
