King Richard: A Review
from Outside the Lines Hosted by Bob Schewior
HBO Max is now airing King Richard, a movie about the process of developing the Williams sisters into tennis stars. It covers them from the ages of 10 to 15. The film's title is based upon the role of their father, Richard Williams, in making his dream of raising tennis stars come true. Richard is an enigmatic figure, largely supportive, but plagued by his need to pick fights. His wife, Oracene, does much to guide him through some of those difficult moments. Richard held the girls out of junior tournaments for 3 years. We answer an important question: was this decision responsible for their ultimate success?
