    This would have been a heartwarming story regardless of the ethnicity of the sisters. What takes it to another level is that they (and their parents) did it in spite of all the odds against them. A fact that no other ethnic group in the game of tennis would have had to contend with. A truly remarkable and historic event. God given.

    must see for tennis nuts, poor Rick Macci trying to get credit because he has no 2 greater players to point to in his coaching legacy, ouch and the kids showing up calling Mr. Williams Dad -- they kept it real

    I really enjoyed this documentary. I believe it was produced in manner that respected the family's reputation, privacy and accomplishments while acknowledging the personal, societal and professional challenges they endured. Overall, a great documentary about a family with a vision pursuing the American dream.
  • If you like tennis this is a must see!

    I rented this film by accident from my cable company…you know press the wrong button….etc. I had no interest in seeing it…but wait. This was an amazing film about two amazing women. I was transfixed for the entire film. I loved this film and I now am a total fan of both women and of all things, tennis. They are both inspiring and funny and a joy to watch. You will not be sorry. It is my belief that there is life after tennis and that they have both just begun to make their amazing mark on this world.

    I am honored to have had this privilege to witness such a heart warming adventure of these two incredible real life sisters. There story backs up that old saying about how it takes the tribe to raise a child or that your discipline starts at home. I love those young ladies and they will always be in my prayers because they are both a gift from the heavens. RBJ (Fresno,CA)
