Williams sisters' Dad Richard Williams Suffered Stroke And Has 'Memory Issues" - Wife Lakeisha

Father to the Williams' sisters, Venus and Serena, 74-year old Richard Williams, who coached the female tennis stars to the top, has had a stroke and has "debilitating memory issues" according to his third wife Lakeisha Williams.

Lakeisha Williams, 37, stated that Richard was released from hospital last week. She said: "His condition is fair - he's up and walking about but he's not at 100 percent."

"He needs speech therapy, psychological therapy and physical therapy but for now he refused. His mind is thinking that they're going to put him back in 'prison', which is what he calls the hospital."

Lakeisha Williams married Richard Williams in 2010 and the couple has a three-year old son Dylan.
