It’s a safe bet that true tennis fans were glued to their computers at 2 p.m. Eastern for the Venus Williams Virtual Clinic. This virtual tennis clinic featured the pro herself giving advice and answering questions.
Almost anything can be done online today, but a professional athlete giving a sports clinic for free and online is unheard of. The Venus Williams Virtual Clinic is over as of this writing, but it will hopefully pave the way for more of its kind. Can we get an online quarterback clinic please?
