It was January 2017. Serena Williams was ready to play the Australian Open but an upset motivated her to look for a pregnancy test and get tested. The positive did not prevent him from playing and winning the first Grand Slam of the season. Olympia was born in September and four months later, the American returned to play. In January of this year, he returned to Australia with his daughter and lifted the trophy with her in Auckland, the first after three years.
The new coronavirus pandemic put a brake on her and tennis soon after. Held at her Miami home, the 23 Grand Slams winner continues to train and does so in the company of Olympia, who at almost three years old already takes the racket like her mother and aunt Venus.

In an unforgettable photo shoot that she shared on social networks, Serena put together a double with Olympia, who was encouraged to hit the ball on the blue-painted cement court. Dressed like her mother, with a lilac jumpsuit and a black skirt, she delighted the 12.4 million followers of the American tennis player on Instagram, among whom there are also celebrities, tennis players and, of course, family members.

Alexis Ohanian, husband of Serena since 2017 and father of Olympia, highlighted the abs that the two-year-old already sports, something that other users of the social network have noticed.

"I just love her and I love you so much. If this gets sweeter I won't live," wrote Venus Williams. While Caroline Wozniacki added: "Oh my gosh. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen!"
Many also joked with a future doubles on the circuit, something unlikely, of course, because Serena is 38 years old.
What is certain is that while waiting for the return to the circuit, the best tennis player in the world - although the ranking has her in ninth place - has fun with her daughter: in addition to playing tennis, they dress up and dance in the living room of the family home in Florida.
