Serena and Venus Williams' father Richard, 74, suffered stroke days before their victories at Wimbledon

Richard Williams, the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena, suffered a stroke just days before Serena and Venus Williams' victory at Wimbledon, his third wife Lakeisha Williams has revealed.

Serena won the women's singles title at Wimbledon, while she and Venus won the women's doubles but during the competition they both had to keep the news to themselves and try to focus on the tournament.
Mr Williams, 74, was released from hospital last week following the stroke but has been left with memory issues and according to Lakeisha, 37, he is unaware that he had a stroke and is more concerned with not returning to hospital, which he calls 'prison'.
'His mind is telling him that since he was once in charge of his life, after what's happened he's not accepting it,' his wife said to Mail Online. 'To him he's a normal person – nothing happened to him.
'His condition is fair – he's up and walking around but he's not at 100 per cent,' Lakeisha said to MailOnline.
'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.'
Mr Williams coached Serena and Venus through their childhood - starting when they were just four years old and was their coach until his health began to deteriorate.
He married Lakeisha in 2010.

APC reacts to Dino Melaye's threat to Oluremi Tinubu, says he needs psychiatric examination

APC in Lagos state have released a statement condemning the recent threat by Dino Melaye on Senator Oluremi Tinubu. In the statement which was signed by its publicity sectary, Joe Igbokwe and released today July 14th, the party said they take his threat comments as a slip of tongue but if it is indeed true that this statement came from the heart of Dino Melaye, they would need a psychiatric doctor to examine the state of his mind. Read the statement below.
Our attention has been drawn to a reckless and unguided statement credited to one Senator Dino Melaye from Kogi State who said he will beat up our own distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu, representing Lagos Central and that nothing will happen. We take it that this is a slip of tongue but if it is indeed true that this statement came from the heart of Dino Melaye, we need a psychiatric doctor to examine the state of his mind.
Senator Dino Melaye has been in the news in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the wrong reasons. His actions and deeds in recent times have contributed in no uncertain terms to various setbacks we have witnessed in the 8th Senate since its inception on June 9 2015.
The hallowed chamber of the Senate of the federal republic of Nigeria is a prestigious place for the serious-minded, cerebral men and women, men and women of honour and integrity, those who can hold their heads when others are losing theirs, experienced but humble men and women. It is not for lunatics, rascals, street urchins, ethically challenged bigots or integrity challenged charlatans.
It seems to us in Lagos APC that Senator Dino Melaye has reached a point of diminishing returns. The unstable and funny man from Kogi State has reached a point where there is no other place to go but to go down irretrievably. He can only go down with his likes and not with our own Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the highly revered, honoured and distinguished wife of our National leader, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Lagos APC wants Dino Melaye to move quickly to apologize to Senator Oluremi Tinubu and her beloved husband Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and have the statement credited to him withdrawn without any further delay.

Nigeria drop to 70th while Portugal,France,Wale​s & Iceland climb up in new FIFA Rankings

Republic of Benin, Togo, Guinea, Uganda, Mali, Saudi Arabia and many other countries once considered as 'small countries' in football are now ahead of Nigeria in the July FIFA/ Coca Cola World Ranking released on Thursday morning.
Nigeria moved down nine places to place 70 on the table, while Algeria is ranked first in Africa with Cote D'ivoire in second while Ghana third in Africa.
The huge drop in ranking for Nigeria, the once powerhouse of African football was not totally unexpected given the fact that the country failed to qualify for the All African Cup of Nations scheduled to hold next year.
Portugal meanwhile have leap frogged Spain and Brazil into sixth position following Euro 2016 triumph.
The ranking’s top five remains unchanged, with Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Germany and Chile – all of whom reached the latter stages of their respective tournaments this summer.
Wales, following a good run at Euro 2016 climbed up 15 places and are now 11th on the rankings while Iceland have climbed to 22nd.
