'She needs to quit': Serena Williams' step-sister Sabrina calls her an OVERACHIEVER just like her father
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Serena Williams' plan to resign from tennis was supported by her older sister, as she joked that it was finally time she quit "trophy hunting." Sabrina Williams, Serena's step-sister from their father Richard's first marriage, claims that Serena's decision to retire permanently came at the perfect time. She could finally focus on other endeavors and have another child at the age of 40. However, her sister wishes Serena would have realized it sooner.
"She could have gone out on the top, she still is, but she’s been hooked on hunting these trophies. I just don't think it matters at this point. Just retire," said Sabrina in an interview with The Sun. Sabrina was eight years old when her father left her deceased mother, Betty, and walked out on the family of six. Richard purportedly went out to purchase a bicycle for Sabrina but never came back. Sabrina shared that she had hardly ever visited her famed tennis instructor father in later life.

Instead, Richard gave Serena and Venus, the children of his new wife, Oracene, the highest attention. He even wrote a seventy-eight-page thesis explaining his strategy and plans for his daughters' successes. Sabrina, a hospital nurse who operates in Las Vegas, met her half-siblings only once, while they were still teens, at the amusement park Knott's Berry Farm in California.
Sabrina said, "She needs to quit, seriously, she doesn't have any other activities in her life? She's 40, you've made your money. Her achievements are her achievements, do I care? No, I never knew her. Do I think she's an overachiever? Yeah, that runs in our genes from our dad. We are genetically gifted from our dad. She can go on and do something else. There's just so many different things that she can get into—do more charity work, a tennis foundation, help kids get to college, whatever, there's a lot more she can do. "
Serena revealed to Vogue that she and her spouse, Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, had been attempting to have a child for the past year. She also mentioned that she would have continued with her career even further if she were a guy. "If I were a guy, I wouldn't be writing this because I'd be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I'd be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity," said Serena.
Sabrina believes that women have little control over their biological timer and cites her dad as an excellent example of a male who can generate sperm until he dies. Richard was referred to as "just a sperm donor" by Sabrina in a statement to The Sun a year ago when she implicated him in having several relationships.
"I know there’s more siblings; I was told between 15 and 19 all over the place, from LA to Louisiana," said Sabrina. "My mom always argued with my dad about his affairs, he was a serial cheat. I remember that was always the main thing they’d talk about. He is a selfish man, lives only for himself. He just uses his kids to get what he needs. He’s not a dad, he was just a sperm donor. He had five kids, and left them to my mom to grow up in poverty, and never once helped."
"I agree with her. Let's just put this into perspective. If it was a man, they keep giving sperm until they die basically. My Dad, look at him? I mean, seriously. Whereas women, you have that clock, and you've got to think about that. Men don't go through childbirth. But women, we have a clock that ticks, so I can see what she's saying, guys can give their sperm all the time," she concluded.
