Serena and Venus Williams will executive produce a new film that pays tribute to an iconic tennis duo

Following the success of King Richard, the winners of 14 Grand Slams are hitting the big screen again.

Winning a Grand Slam is every tennis player's dream, but winning 23 of them in singles and 14 in women's doubles with your sister is something to admire.

Serena Williams has managed to succeed in the world of sports and she has done it together with her sister, Venus. Her story has inspired thousands of athletes and empowered women to fight for their dreams.

After the acclaimed Oscar-nominated film, King Richard, in which they tell their own story and were executive producers along with their half-sister Isha Price, Serena and Venus would be in a similar project.

The three are teaming up again for another heartwarming tennis story, The Match. The film will be an adaptation of Bruce Schoenfeld's book "The Match: Althea Gibson & Angela Buxton: How Two Outsiders - One Black, the Other Jewish - Forged a Friendship and Made Sports History".

The project from 1Community, Access Entertainment and Four Daughters will be scripted by Liz Maccie, creator of Netflix's Nonna, and Caroline Currier will handle the project on behalf of Serena Williams' production company, Nine Two Six Productions.

The Plot of The Match

African-American Althea Gibson and British Jew Angela Buxton, suffered racism first-hand, had to deal with exclusion from their own country and from the world of sport they loved so much.

However, they managed to overcome and went on to win Wimbledon, with Gibson subsequently winning the coveted singles title in 1957.
