Making people crazy around the world, Venus and Serena Williams have a fan in their house. It’s none other than the 23-time Grand Slam Champion’s businessman husband, Alexis Ohanian. While he has always openly appreciated the iconic sisters’ work and dedication to reach where they are today, his recent social media update truly shed light on his admiration for the sisters! As someone who is into collecting women’s sports cards, he recently pulled a fan move that is sure to leave fellow card collectors jealous!

Venus and Serena Williams’ rookie card finds a place in the Ohanian household 

The 40-year-old American entrepreneur never misses an opportunity to invest in trading the sports cards he has collected over time. Apart from having a larger collection, he sometimes also uses them for business purposes. But recently, he highlighted how one truly special card will forever be a part of the family.

Ohanian took to ‘X’ to give a memorabilia elicit response while keeping business aside and prioritizing family. He wrote, “I cannot believe I got a GEM MT 10 on this SI Kids card of S & V. Huge. The @altxyzofficial facilitated the whole armored car pickup of my collection and everything. This one is going to stay in the family forever.” 

Along with that, he also shared a picture of the card, in which both the sisters look adorable. It was a Serena collection card featuring the iconic duo from the year 2000. In addition, the Reddit co-founder also made it clear that he would keep this card in the family forever while not including it in business.

As someone who has been a regular at collecting sports cards, he has always found little moments of joy to celebrate. Nevertheless, just a few months ago, he also discovered a grand way to celebrate his wife’s legacy with the help of her rookie cards.

Williams’ husband found a way to celebrate his wife’s legacy 

Earlier this year, the 40-year-old American entrepreneur took to his Instagram account to share a little insight on what his childhood collection of things looked like. While there were a lot of different things, including some classic comics such as Wolverine Reunion and X-Force, there were also some timeless souvenirs.

Interestingly, Ohanian also collected cards of various athletes, including that of his wife, Serena Williams. Diving into his treasure of memories, he caption it: “Thanks for not throwing these out, mom and dad!” As a child, not only did he love reading Marvel Comics, but from a very young age, he was into collecting his wife’s cards, building a collection of her tennis legacy.

 

The bond between Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki is all about serving sisterhood in the form of friendship. After trailing through competitions and being a part of each other’s lives for more than a decade. While both of them bonded over tennis, now, after so many years, daughters also share a common sporting interest.

Moreover, both of them are quite apart from each other, as Olympia, the 42-year-old American tennis legend’s daughter, is six years old, while Wozniacki’s daughter is only two. But there is one thing they both have in common: their love for tennis because of other mothers.

While both the tennis titans ruled the tennis world together at the same time while maintaining a great friendship with each other. Their daughters are ready to follow their athletic path, but not in tennis. Apart from this, there is one common spotting obsession that can be found in both sporting households.

Recently, the 33-year-old Danish tennis player took to her Instagram account to share a video of her 2-year-old daughter playing a different sport other than tennis. In the video, Wozniacki’s daughter was playing golf, and she was seen hitting a shot with her little hand, dressed in a blue tracksuit.

While Olivia might not be into tennis, looking at the video, it won’t be wrong to say that she is definitely into golf. In the same way, if you are an Olympic fan, you would know how the eldest daughter of Serena Williams is quite into playing golf every now and then.

Nevertheless, looking into the common aspect, other than their mothers, it is golf that might be a common forte between the two. Moreover, just a few days ago, the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s husband shared a little insight into her daughter’s obsession with the sport.

Williams’ 6-year-old daughter expressed interest in forging her own path, despite having a tennis legend as a mother and a business entrepreneur as a father. She is often seen playing golf, and just a few days ago, Alexis Ohanian took to his Twitter account to share how his daughter is quite obsessed with the sport.

He shared a picture of Olympia, who was quite into the sport, while she went out with her father to play golf. Along with that, the 40-year-old American entrepreneur also highlighted how she is better than him while he is trying to catch up with her with his daughter’s golf skills. However, looking at the way, just like the way Williams and Wozniacki were obsessed with tennis, their daughters are into golf.

 

Serena Williams is a superwoman when it comes to managing the sport, and her business, and also giving sufficient time to her own family, especially her kids. Recently she posted a video where she can be seen teaching her elder daughter Olympia to make sentences with the words she got for her homework.

Not only is she helping her learn for her schoolwork but also adding her little fun twist to the way she teaches her making the experience for herself and her daughter even more memorable. It is amazing to see how a person as busy as her can find time for her daughter’s homework.

One of Serena Williams’ fan pages recently uploaded a video in which she can be seen giving lessons to her daughter Olympia. She can be seen teaching Olympia how to make sentences of the words he got from school. However, instead of making simpler sentences, she is making them fun so that Olympia also enjoys them.

Here are some sentences she came up with, “She got a good shape. Where did you learn how to twerk from? You get that from your mama. Wow, she’s crazy. This right here is my swag. They don’t get it

Surely seems like Serena Williams is enjoying the time she gets to spend with Olympia amidst her busy schedule and she is making the most of it. Of course, Olympia is also following what her mom is saying and engaging the most. Well, homework is not the only thing that Serena Williams’ daughter engages in. Recently she was also seen playing golf when her father happened to capture her.

In a recent post shared by Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian, it can be seen that their elder daughter Olympia is standing on a golf course and playing. She is wearing a beautiful pink dress with white sneakers as her father is capturing her picture as she takes her first shot.

So, it’s not just tennis that Olympia takes part in when it comes to sport. She is also interested in golf. Ohanian posted the photo on his official Twitter account and also wrote a caption along with it that said, “Daddy Caddy Life.” The great thing here is that the couple supports their daughter in every adventure she takes upon herself be it in her education or other co-curricular activities.

Well, if we tell you that Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, is the ideal picture of what a father should be like, you will probably agree with us. Time and again, Alexis Ohanian has shown what an exemplary dad he is to both of her daughters. He loves Olympia a lot, and recently, a post that Ohanian shared on his official social media account proved the same.

Alexis Ohanian posted an adorable picture with his daughter Olympia on his social media account, which truly shows the kind of bond the two of them share, and we are in awe of it.

Alexis Ohanian and his daughter Olympia were caught in a cute moment yet again as their photo went viral on social media. The ‘ideal’ father posted a cute picture on his official Twitter account where he can be seen hugging his daughter Olympia very tightly. His eyes are completely closed as if he is trying to capture the moment forever.

With the photo, he also wrote, “NEVER LETTING GO.” As always, his post got a lot of attention, and people loved the way he never fails to express his love for her little one.

His love, however, is not only bound to pictures. Ohanian also ensured the future of his daughter Olympia by making her the youngest investor in his all-women’s soccer club as well. However, this is not the first time Alexis Ohanian has shared a post for Olympia on Twitter. In November, he shared a post where little Olympia had two dumbles in her hands, and the father captioned the video, “I had @Olympiaohanian benching at 4 months.

Alexis Ohanian showers Olympia with love by making her an investor in this young

Alexis Ohanian owns an all-women’s soccer club called Angel City. There are a lot of people who have invested in this club, including Alexis Ohanian himself and his wife, Serena Williams. The tennis legend Billie Jean King is also an investor in the club, along with her partner.

And among the long list of investors, the youngest investor happens to be Olympia Ohanian, who was made an investor by her father. Even though she does not, as of now, understand what being an investor means, at least this ensures that her future is secure and she will be able to take care of herself as intended by her father.

The 2o23 season, as it brought amazing feats for the tennis legend Novak Djokovic on ATP’s side, acted similarly for Iga Swiatek on WTA’s end. While the young Polish star recently lifted her WTA Player of the Year title, the win added another medal of achievement to her glorious portfolio. However, besides the excitement of this win, the tennis world envisions another legend in the making.

With an amazing performance that thrilled the audience throughout the season of 2023, Iga Swiatek’s spot for the Player of the Year award became quite obvious. While the world had just the specific feat in mind, analysts suggested a legendary win, matching the steps of Serena Williams and Martina Navratilova.

Iga Swiatek’s consistent performance over the last two years made the tennis world connect her name to legends already. With her powerful and skillful game, the 22-year-old has been drawing comparisons to tennis greats Serena Williams and Martina Navratilova, who have had unforgettable impacts on the tennis world. Reminding fans of her excellent potential once again, Swiatek was recently crowned as the WTA Player of the Year 2023.

Looking at the achievement with a pinch-out perspective, this happened to be the second consecutive year of her winning the title. As soon as this happened, the analysts turned their calendars to match her feat with none other than tennis legend Serena Williams, who did the same in 2008-2009, and Martina Navratilova who did it back in 1978-1979.

With this amazing comparison with the tennis legends, Swiatek’s win appears to be even bigger than how the world has envisioned it so far. However, this wasn’t the first time she gained a word of connection with the legendary WTA players.

Along with the consecutive two-year WTA Player of the Year feat, Iga Swiatek also matched Serena Williams in terms of winning one of all major titles in the same year. Serena, who won a Grand Slam, a WTA 250 event along with one of 500 and 1000 as well, marked the year 2013 as a milestone that no other tennis star could hit.

Looking up to Iga Swiatek’s performance in the present year, she became the first woman in almost a decade to match Serena Williams’ win trail. With this, the 25-year-old not only added an achievement to her portfolio but also proved her strong potential to the world.

With Serena Williams away from her professional career now, Iga Swiatek appears to hold the top spot as she keeps on laying examples of her carrying the same intensity as the American star.

2023 was quite an eventful year for the Williams family. With Serena Williams retiring last year, Venus Williams continued with her tennis career while battling injuries. However, they had a busy off-court calendar, attending several events worldwide. In August this year, she gave birth to her second daughter, who was named Adira. Recently, Serena’s sister, Venus, revealed if she had a role to play in the naming of Adira.

Although Venus had a hard time with injuries, she did participate in a few tournaments in 2023. Nonetheless, she has kept her fans updated through her social media handles. Here’s what she said about Adira’s naming.

A few hours ago, a new video dropped on Venus’ official YouTube channel. In the video, the American tennis legend can be heard talking about various subjects, like her comeback and her family. Further, she also revealed how Adira got her name and if she had a role to play in her naming.

Talking about this, Venus said, “Serena asked me I know I don’t have a vote and I know like Alexis is so much more important than me she’s like what should I name her and I said whatever you want of course I had opinions I wanted to name her a certain name but I didn’t say anything because that’s not my job they’re supposed to decide as a family what they want to name their daughter.”

Further, she went on to add, “I did not carry her for nine months and I don’t change her diaper every day although I would I really would so I stayed out of it and she has a beautiful name.”

Venus was a giant force during Serena’s pregnancy and remained close to her all through her journey. During the gender-reveal party, her expression went viral after Serena’s husband, Alexis, played a prank. However, shortly after Adira’s birth, Venus couldn’t spend time with them.

Venus participated in the US Open earlier this year. However, she lost in the opening round, losing against a qualifier, Greet Minnen. She had to make a big sacrifice for playing in her home Grand Slam tournament.

The American legend missed being with Serena and Adira shortly after the latter’s birth as she was busy with her on-court commitments. She didn’t make any official wish after Adira’s birth and her absence raised many eyebrows.

Nonetheless, Venus has spoken about her niece, Adira, on many occasions as she did a few hours ago on her naming. She would like to make up for the lost time as she balances her on and off-the-court activities.

Serena Williams has done it all. Be it overachieving in tennis, being a mother, or in business, there is nothing in the world that she cannot do. However, people who know her closely believe that her potential can take her to greater heights. One such person who thinks that Serena Williams is made for more is none other than her childhood coach, Rick Macci.

In a recent exclusive interview for ES Fancast, Rick Macci shared how he feels that there is still more left for Serena Williams to achieve.

Rick Macci has always spoken highly of the tennis legend. And recently in an interview with the ES Fancast, he talked about how even though Serena Williams has ended her career in tennis, she still has a lot to offer to the world, especially by inspiring future generations. Macci believes that Serena Williams had a perfect career, however, he also believes that her story is far from over.

Rick Macci has worked very closely with the Williams sisters and is aware of the kind of impact they had and also the kind of potential they hold. That is why he firmly believes that the junior Williams has much more to offer to the world than what she has now.

Macci not only thinks highly of the sisters but also their father with whom he teamed up to create history. He recently posted about a piece of advice that Richard Williams would give to his daughters even in the toughest of times.

Macci reflects on the advice that Richard Williams would give to Venus and Serena Williams

A couple of days back, Rick Macci posted on his official Twitter account about how he teamed up with Richard Williams to train and coach his daughters for tennis. And that created history as we know it. But there is one thing that stood out to him and stayed with him as well. And that was the advice he got from their father.

He heard Richard Williams saying to his daughters every day to ‘smile’ and that was his advice to them forever. This is one of the things that resonated with Macci a lot because he thought that this was one of the best things that he could let his daughters know of.

 

Serena Williams‘s popular husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian revealed a little disappointment over paparazzi recently. This celebrity husband was one of the first few people who bought Elon Musk’s brand new Tesla Cybertruck. Recently, he also attended Art Basel with his wife, Serena Williams, and got flashed by many cameras. However, the pictures seem to disappoint Ohanian a little bit.

Now Alexis Ohanian’s disappointment appeared quite interesting to many. However, is it just about his new car? Fans don’t think so. This is because he spoke about something that revealed another of his exclusive interests. Want to know what did disappoint Alexis Ohanian recently?

World’s former number-one tennis star Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian are such a glamorous couple that whichever event they attend, paparazzi never miss out on a chance to capture this lovely duo. The same thing happened the day Ohanian reached the Art Basel with his gorgeous wifey on his new Tesla Cybertruck.

In fact, they gave the paparazzi a great moment to capture them but this is where Ohanian shared his disappointment. Known for his direct comments on social media, Ohanian recently tweeted sharing his disappointment and wrote- “How’d they not shoot the @WeAreLAGC logo on the back tho.” While this is not a hard disappointment, fans understood Ohanian wanted to share another of his sports interests with the fans.

Now LAGC is the logo of Los Angeles’s Golf Club. The fact that Ohanian was intrigued to share that logo on the back of his car publicly means he wanted to display his golf interest.

Now that the Paparazzi were too busy documenting him with his talented wife Serena Williams, they didn’t focus on the right angle. However, now that Ohanian tweeted about it,  fans are over the moon knowing his interest in golf too.

Alexis Ohanian’s interest in Golf became quite determined to the community when he along with his famous wife Serena Williams and her sister Venus joined the prestigious and historic Los Angeles Golf Club in January. While previously Ohanian showed interest in Women’s football with his investment in Angel City FC, golf was truly something new to the fans.

However, Ohanian later revealed that it was his old pal and golf legend Tiger Woods who primarily motivated him to join the club. However, fans still understood Ohanian’s underlying interest in the sport.

Serena Williams’s husband Alexis Ohanian surely knows to be on the top of the headlines just like her wife. From owning a new Tesla Cybertruck to being a perfect husband, the internet is over the moon with his personality. Now with his interest in golf, Ohanian will soon charm his fans with an exciting presence in the sport.

World’s former number-one Serena Williams‘s popular husband, Alexis Ohanian is inspired by an American tennis star’s unique hairstyle. This tennis player is none other than the 2023 French Open’s first runner-up, JJ Wolf. Now Wolf earned the title of Big Ten Men’s Tennis Athlete of the Year in 2019. His combined 45-3 record in both singles and doubles has attracted many veterans of the tennis fraternity to his game. In this list, Alexis Ohanian shines as a bright name.

Apart from Wolf’s game, Ohanian seemed to get attracted to the tennis player’s unique mullet hairstyle. So much so that Ohanian took his X (formerly Twitter) to express his feelings to his fans.

America’s 23-year-old tennis player JJ Wolf is snatching all the spotlights for his new unique hairstyle. This Ohio State University star donned a vintage “mullet” hairstyle right before his birthday and at the Indian Wells tournament this season. However, this stylish and one-of-a-kind hairstyle attracted none other than fashion icon of tennis Serena Williams’s husband, Alexis Ohanian.

Taking this matter to his official X (formerly Twitter), Ohanian wrote- “I’m growing a mullet for 2024. JJ Wolf inspired me.”

Ohanian’s wife, who is a popular name in combining tennis with glamour, has inspired her husband to fashion. This couple is frequently spotted at many Vanity Fair fashion events. Now Ohanian seemed to be really motivated seeing this youngster of tennis proudly showing off a vintage American haircut. Not to mention, Ohanian openly spoke about it to the fans acknowledging the style game and the tennis abilities of JJ Wolf.

Serena Williams’s popular husband, Alexis Oahnian’s interest in styling and fashion was revealed earlier when this proud father appeared with a unique look at his daughter’s recital with a 19th-century German theme. Fans spotted Ohanian donning a vintage neatly plated hairstyle with buttoned coats and creative tie for the theme.

It was the moment when fans understood Ohanian’s love for vintage things. Now that he again acknowledged Wolf’s vintage mullet hairstyle as inspirational, people realized his soft spot for antique things. Now who can blame Ohanian right? After all, a proverb says that old is gold.

 

Throughout her time as a professional player, Serena Williams was a true inspiration for both rising players and her fans. After winning numerous WTA titles and 23 grand slams to her name, the American queen finally hung up her boots after her elimination from the US Open back in 2022. Despite having a mouth-watering 23 slam, her childhood coach believes that she could have won more.

In an exclusive interview, Rick Macci, the childhood coach of Serena Williams, came ahead and listed the obstacles that prevented her from laying her hand on more grand slams. From early childhood to injuries, he talks about multiple things that were possible roadblocks for her.

In a special ES Fancast exclusive interview, Rick Macci talks about Serena Williams’ incredible career. He suggested that Williams didn’t play many junior tournaments from the age of 10 to 16, but burst into the scene at 16. However, she did not get the start that she wanted and suffered an early loss in the qualifying stages. But that didn’t stop her as she learned from losses and soared to win the US Open at just 17.

He also suggested that certain players hang up their boots at just 25 or maybe 28, but Serena Williams, even in her late 30s, was going strong and defeated the second-ranked player at her last US Open back in 2022. Macci’s observation was clear. Had it not been for her breaks, injuries, and personal milestones like motherhood, Serena’s potential was limitless. He then went ahead to add that she could have won an astonishing 30 Grand Slams.

“So remember she has been out there since 17 and the reason that I bring this up is you are talking about people that retire at 25, 28 and you know she is still out there and she knocks out number 2 in the world at the US Open. Here’s what’s crazy, in my opinion, she would have 30 grand slams. Obviously, she had a child and had injuries and she did not play some of the grand slams okay,” said Rick Macci in the exclusive interview.

Thus, Serena Williams, who ended her career with 23 grand slams to her name, had the potential to do more, as per her childhood coach. If not for injuries and stuff, she would have gone ahead and made a record that was almost impossible for anyone to beat.

Going ahead in the interview, Rick Macci also came ahead and listed another reason that would have helped Serena Williams win even more grand slams.

Serena Williams, along with her sister Venus Williams holds a record that is out of reach for anyone in the sport. The two hold a 14-0 record in the finals of the Grand Slam, which is legendary. Rick Macci, in the interview, emphasized that and suggested that if they had played more in the mixed doubles, who knows what they would have done?

However, he later went ahead to add that they primarily focused on the singles and with nothing to prove, played their best game on the tour and won glory, despite major obstacles. He also applauded the efforts made by both the sisters, despite missing out often due to injuries and stuff.

Thus, Serena Williams, who took the world by storm during her time as a professional athlete, could have won more grand slams. However, that could not come to life, as certain roadblocks prevented her.
