APBURBANK, Calif. - Serena and Venus Williams will be starring in their version of a tennis reality show.
The sisters’ off-court lives — their family, friends and the glamour of big-time tennis — will be featured in a six-episode show that is still untitled but set to premiere on ABC Family in July.
“The series will provide our fans with an up-close, inside look at our lives away from the tennis courts,” Venus Williams said.
The sisters have won 11 major single titles between them and are competing at the Nasdaq-100 Open in Key Biscayne, Fla. Serena is ranked No. 4 in the world and Venus No. 9.
Serena Williams said she and her sister welcome the chance to “branch out into a new medium.”
The United States swept favored Switzerland out of the Davis Cup on Saturday when Mardy Fish and Mike Bryan beat Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
