Venus Williams

The eldest Williams sister, who won 7 Grand Slam singles titles and 4 Olympic gold medals, was a dominant force at Wimbledon where she won five titles between 2000 and 2008 and reached the final in 2017 at age 37. Venus Williams was the first Black woman to be ranked world number one in the Open Era and fought for equal prize money at Wimbledon in 2005, convincing the All England Club to match the men's prize structure -- a change that rippled across all four Grand Slams.
