Among all the things Serena Williams is good at, fitness is probably the most crucial. When the tennis star used to rule the courts, everything appeared simple for her, and this was all due to her high level of fitness. Her fitness objectives don’t seem too far off, though, now that she is a mother of two and ahead in her professional career.

Since retiring, Serena Williams has seen numerous noteworthy changes in her life. In addition to running multiple enterprises, she is a mother of two. She just posted a video to Instagram that showed off her current exercise regimen.

Serena just posted a video to Instagram showing her working out her inner thighs intensely. She posted an inspirational statement with the video, saying, “LISTEN – I stay on “ready set” in case I have to RUN 🏃🏿‍♀️ and grab baby @adiraohanian ….” But in the interim, burn your inner thighs.

Serena Williams has always maintained her physical health through a rigorous schedule because she is worried about it. She consistently disproves everyone’s assumption that her life as a businessman and mother will be the same after retirement.

Immediately after the video began to garner notice from viewers, an extensive stream of comments ensued. A joyful fan commented, “Something” tells me Serena is maintaining in form and top fitness because she might come back to the circuit, praising the legend’s physical appearance.

Another admirer wrote, “Full time job, being a parent,” while also drawing all the duties Serena is presently playing and emphasizing her level of fitness. Look at this queen, serving herself and wearing that carrier to show that she is ready for her baby!

As the comments flowed in, one fan stood up and made an encouraging remark. “This isn’t a comeback, in my opinion; she never went away. But something’s there,” he wrote. The supporters expressed their appreciation for Serena’s tremendous levels of passion with these and other responses, even after she withdrew from the tennis scenario.

It’s hard to say how committed Serena Williams is to staying in shape and working out. Although her recent video of herself working out with daughter Adira was one thing, her pregnant workout regimen was quite another. When Serena was getting ready to welcome Adira into her family in August of last year, she gave advice on how to stick to her exercise regimen even throughout the difficult part of pregnancy.

“I wanted to demonstrate to you all how I manage to maintain my fitness levels while carrying a child. It’s really challenging, but I discovered that pregnant women burn a lot of calories. as much as a competitor in triathlons. In the video, she stated, “I’m trying to take advantage of that and keep burning those calories.” Fitness has never been an option for the tennis legend; rather, it has always been a must. She shares her steps with her followers and has always been in good physical shape.

In 2023, Chris Eubanks became a well-known player. By altering his perspective, he was able to finally realize his dream of ranking in the top 100 after many years of attempting. He then exceeded all expectations and made it into the top 30. Eubanks’s playing improved significantly, drawing the attention of numerous sponsors. Eubanks eventually hit a huge one.

He collaborated with a Swiss apparel brand, sharing his first-ever photo session with them. Numerous tennis buddies, including Serena Williams, who made a lighthearted remark, commended him on his development.

J. Lindberg made a spectacular start to their collaboration with Eubanks. The American star was photographed wearing what would have been his tournament attire for the 2024 season. The 27-year-old athlete noticed that his colleagues were praising him, particularly Serena Williams, who chose to make a lighthearted remark.

Following the shooting, Williams commented on Eubanks’ Instagram account, saying, “I knew your legs would land you a modeling gig one day 🙌.” In response to her remark, Eubanks laughed and said, “I’m glad people are starting to see your vision 😂🙌.” The Wimbledon quarterfinalist is having a blast as he keeps improving at the game.

Williams praised Eubanks’s contributions to the game. After Eubanks commended Williams for her achievements in the sport, this moment occurred. When talking about how Serena and Venus Williams have significantly altered the sport, the 27-year-old tennis player brought them up.

During an interview with Tennis Majors, Eubanks was questioned regarding his contribution to enhancing the diversity within the sport. When asked about his role in comparison to other celebrities, particularly Serena and Venus Williams, he was candid in his response. He went on to say that the women’s side of the sport was primarily affected.

They may take inspiration from their results as so many girls wanted to look like the Williams sisters and grow up to be huge. As a result, diversity in the sport was greater on the WTA side. There is no denying their influence, and it will last for many more decades. There have already been instances of athletes being motivated by them, and this trend is expected to continue.

It was 2015. Serena Williams was coming into the season fresh off her US Open victory from the previous year. She started her career in the Australian Open warm-up event, the Hopman Cup. Nevertheless, she was shockingly defeated in that competition. Poland went on to win the championship by defeating Williams’ Team USA in the finale. Agnieszka Radwanska, one of their famous names, reflected on the unique triumph.

During that period, Radwanska was at the peak of her abilities and faced Williams head-on. Radwanska responded to the moment when it became popular on social media in a way that made it clear to the world that she still holds this memory in high regard.

That year, Radwanska and Jerzy Janowicz teamed up for the Hopman Cup. Together, the two made a great team and won their group. In the tournament, they only suffered one tie against France. They so advanced to the championship match and faced John Isner and Williams’ Team USA.

Radwanska beat Williams in the opening singles set of the summit battle. The match was an intense and tantalizing battle that lasted three sets, with the Polish player winning 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1. Isner, though, broke through Janowicz in straight sets to even the match. In the final, the combined might of Radwanska and Janowicz overcame Williams and Isner to win the 2015 Hopman Cup.

A fan account on Twitter posted a preview of that match a few hours earlier. The post went viral on social media as people looked back on old memories. Radwanska was even drawn to it, responding with an arm-flexing emoji, her nation’s flag, and a face with sunglasses emoji.

Over her career, Radwanska has frequently struggled against Williams. The Polish player, who had once lost badly, praised Williams’ style of play.

After winning the Hopman Cup a year prior, Radwanska fell short versus Williams in the semifinals of the Australian Open. She lost against the American sensation in straight sets, 6-0, 6-4. Radwanska then talked candidly about Williams’ performance.

“She goes on court and she just wants to kill it,” the Polish celebrity remarked. Simply put, there was no error. Amazing service. She was aiming for everything. Yes, I had limited options. Actually, not at all. Nobody actually has the ability to play at that level, in my opinion.

Now that their heyday is over, Radwanska and Williams are content with their retirement. In retrospect, Radwanska’s 2015 Hopman Cup remains a fitting chapter in her career, one of which she would have been extremely proud.

With her recent decision to become a mother, Naomi Osaka has begun a new phase in her competitive career. After taking a season-long maternity vacation, the Japanese tennis star has returned to the tour with a strong performance while balancing her obligations as a mom and an athlete. Even if there is a lot of doubt about Osaka’s performance on the court, a well-known tennis writer recently made a daring “Grand Slam” forecast about her.

For WTA players, achieving the Grand Slam while raising a family is surely a difficult undertaking. Even Serena Williams, who has gone nearly four times, has not succeeded in doing so. Ben Rothenberg, meanwhile, recently shared his thoughts on how he thinks Osaka can succeed where the legendary American tennis player failed during her time on the circuit.

No WTA player has been able to win a Grand Slam championship as a parent on the tour since the legendary Belgian tennis player Kim Kleister. Notably, Ben Rothenberg was asked if he thought Naomi Osaka could join this exclusive tennis parent group in an exclusive interview with Sportsnow.

“I think she has a chance for sure from what we’re seeing,” he replied. She definitely has a chance with the way she’s playing, even if I won’t claim that she will definitely succeed. Indeed, Serena was unable to succeed. Thus yet, Azarenka hasn’t done it. Additionally, Serena and Azarenka’s shared experience of motherhood’s shortcomings is that they were both defeated by Naomi Osaka in a grand slam final.

“I mean, there’s great young players coming up all the time and it’s not just about Naomi,” the famed tennis journalist remarked, citing the likes of other tennis moms, such as Williams and Azarenka. It also has to do with how her rivals operate online. Thus, Naomi does not entirely control her destiny. In addition, Rothenberg praised Osaka for winning the Brisbane International in the first round of her comeback competition.

The four-time singles Grand Slam champion easily defeated Tamara Korpatsch of Germany in her Brisbane comeback match, winning 6-3, 7-6 in straight sets. In addition to praising Osaka for her recent outstanding performance, Rothenberg revealed that, following her return this season, he is now looking forward to seeing her.

“But I do think she remains one of the best when she’s at her best,” he said. That was, I believe, a pretty obvious reminder of what she is capable of, and we previously saw that in Brisbane. She seems motivated, so I’m interested to see what she can accomplish. And if she succeeds, that would undoubtedly be a remarkable achievement.

 

Zheng Qinwen is shining at the United Cup as she takes a win for her country. While the mixed-gender event has been in full swing, the Chinese tennis player stunned Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova to take her country further in the game. But after the clash, there has been a lot of debate and discussion going on regarding the Czech’s stand in the same battle.

While a lot of tennis fans have been questioning Vondrousova’s credibility as a Wimbledon champion, Serena Williams‘ former coach, Rennae Stubbs, stepped up to shut down the unnecessary hate as she was not able to do well in the United Cup, despite carrying a champion’s title.

Serena Williams’s former coach stands up for Marketa Vondrousova 

While the 2024 United Cup has kept fans on their toes, at the same time, it has also created a buzz. After China defeated the 24-year-old Czech player, a fan questioned why he didn’t find anything slam-worthy in Vondrousova, while all eyes and cameras were on Qinwen during the match.

While many questions were raised about the world’s 7th-ranked tennis player’s credibility on the court as a player, Serena Williams’ ex-coach, came in support of Vondrousova. At the same time, the former Australian star explained how winning Wimbledon carries a different spirit for a player.

She wrote defending the 2023 Wimbledon winner, “Well, let me enlighten you! She beat EVERYONE.” Not only this, but Stubbs also lauded Qinwen and called her a “VERY good player” with great potential in the future.

Apart from that, she also praised the 21-year-old Chinese tennis player for doing great on the court. But do you know that having a Grand Slam title changes the perspective in the broader picture? After winning her first Grand Slam title this year, the 24-year-old revealed a brutal reality about her maiden Slam victory.

Grand Slam champion Vondrousova’s scathing confession 

Just a few days after clinching the Wimbledon crown, the 24-year-old tennis star opened up about how no one can take her Grand Slam victory away from her. In an interview with PuntodeBreak, she highlighted how a lot of things change after becoming a Grand Slam champion.

She said, “If you have a Grand Slam title, no one can take it from you anymore. You’re a little calmer because you know you already have it, although I feel like everyone wants more later; they go for the second one.” Along with that, in her career, for the first time, she also broke into the top 10 of the WTA rankings.

 

With her unmatched brilliance on the court, Serena Williams graced the women’s tour for more than two decades. But it was an emotional moment for the American tennis icon in 2022, as she played her farewell match on her home soil. Now that she has embarked on her post-retirement journey, the former tennis ace recently shared some snippets of her latest adventure.

It’s the festive season, and the ‘Queen of the Court’ is making the best of it, according to her recent social media post. As she has recently decided to jet off to an exotic island, the 42-year-old recently showcased her love for ‘puns.’

The WTA legend’s daily activities during her off-court journey have rarely been kept hidden from the public’s lens on social media. Even Serena Williams’ recent hiking session on an exotic island caught the attention of her fans and followers on Instagram.

In her latest Instagram post, the American tennis icon revealed how someone told her to ‘go take a hike.’ While showcasing her love for puns, Williams suggested that she took the literal meaning of ‘take a hike’ as she jets off to the exotic island. In the caption of the pictures of her adventurous activity, the former tennis ace said, “When someone tells you to ‘go take a hike …’”

The 42-year-old tennis superstar’s ‘hiking ‘ pictures have undoubtedly won the hearts of many fans, as they reacted in the comments section of her social media post.

In the comments section, a fan praised the former tennis ace by saying, “Nice view 😍 you’re looking good ❤️” Another fan was left awestruck after witnessing Williams relish the beauty of an exotic island. He commented, “Some view that🙌🏻👏🏻”

While a fan called her “Beautiful,” another fan commented, “wow amazing.” Meanwhile, a user also lauded Williams’ decision by saying, “Beautiful place to go hiking.”

 

Holding the door open for someone is one of the few gestures that will put a smile on someone’s face. However, often, this gesture can cause someone to awkwardly hustle through the door because they aren’t close. Serena Williams is no stranger to the latter situation and recently shared a post talking about the awkwardness of someone holding the door open for her when she’s far away.

Serena’s post, as usual, saw much engagement by fans. Her elder sister, Venus Williams, also decided to talk about the post and joked about hustling through it.

Serena Williams is someone who undoubtedly encounters several nice gestures throughout the day. She is a personality who has brought a smile to many faces and continues to do so. Holding the door open for her would be a minor gesture in someone’s eyes. But even that can become awkward for her. Sometimes, Serena has to rush to get through an open door because she’s far away. She recently shared a post on her ‘X’ page regarding the situation.

It read, “Thank you for holding the door open for me…. But if I’m a football field away please go ahead and go in… I don’t wanna rush- by the time I get there I’m sweating like crazy and stressed 🙈. Anyone feel me?”.

Venus Williams was captured by Serena’s words as she encountered a similar situation many times. To her post, she replied, “Gosh I’ve been making the mistake to be hustling all this time?!”.

Venus realized she could’ve shared a post on her social media like Serena and discouraged people from putting her in such a situation. The seven-time grand slam champion has found herself in a few awkward situations, including an incident with her mother in Moscow.

Oracene Price and Venus Williams find themselves in a ditch

The story takes place when Venus Williams is much younger. She went for a night out with her mother, Oracene Price. Price would not usually step into a nightclub but made an exception on that day. The elder Williams’ sister recalled that they didn’t have much money, but they went out, made some friends, and ate in the middle of the night.

She laughed about the incident as she recollected it. Williams further said it was the first and the last time she went out with her mom. While Price never went for a night out with her daughter, she did go to watch all of her matches. The one night in Moscow would become one night that Williams would remember forever.

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian is back to being the ideal father once again as he finds another way to spend time with his daughter. He never leaves any stone unturned when it comes to having one-on-one time with his elder daughter Olympia. Be it with golfing, dance classes, pancakes, and now with video games.

Alexis Ohanian recently posted about how he and his daughter Olympia were having fun on a weekend, as they were enjoying some amazing video games. He even shared a snip of the game on his official social media and mentioned how they were having the perfect time on a weekend playing the game.

The bond that Alexis Ohanian and Olympia share is very pure and adorable. The two of them never leave a chance to spend some quality time together. And now both of them have again found a way to bond, and that is with video games. They were recently seen playing a game they enjoy together. It is called Darkstalkers Hsein Ko.

Alexis Ohanian even posted about it on his official X channel. He wrote, “Friday nights for video games.” Further, he also added how the simple mode in the game is perfect for his six-year-old daughter and him as well as pointing to the fact that even he is not good at the game. He also posted about it on his Instagram story. Ohanian added, “Weekend video games with Olympia Ohanian are starting to get fun.”

In the game, both of them can be seen competing with each other in a fighting battle. Besides playing video games with his daughter, there is another ritual that Alexis Ohanian has picked up, and that is ‘Wake and Crepe’. It is a new series that he has started for his fans online.

There are a lot of series that Ohanian has done in the past and continues to do like Papa Pancakes, where he cooks pancakes in Olympia’s favorite shapes and designs. Then there is also Caddy Daddy, where the two of them share a game of golf.

He starts this series by going live on his X or Instagram accounts. During the live stream, he makes crepes at home and also answers questions that his fans ask him during the time. It is like a fun live Q&A while cooking breakfast that he does for his fans.

The love stories in the sporting world are just a little extraordinary from the usual. The way Serena Williams‘ husband, Alexis Ohanian supported her while she took center stage shows his true dedication towards his wife. While in the gymnastics world, Simone Biles and her soccer star husband have also kept the bar high. But recently, Jonathan Owens’ comment on being a catch in the relationship with Biles stirred up a lot of controversies.

While there are a lot of debates and discussions going on regarding the controversy, several tennis fans took a different route and crowned the 40-year-old American entrepreneur as the best husband after the controversy. Let’s take a look at what the tennis fans have to say regarding keeping Ohanian over Owens as the best husband.

After getting married this year itself, Biles’ husband might have created a controversy regarding his stand in the marriage. During his recent appearance on the ‘The Pivot’ podcast, he made a remark about his partnership with Biles that went viral. As he regarded himself as the catch in the relationship, fans came out and showcased their choice.

While tennis fans were left scratching their heads, a lot of fans brought in Alexis Ohanian and talked about how he had just raised the standard of being a husband. A fan took to Twitter to highlight how Ohanian is different. She wrote, “Simone Biles’ husband needed to buy one of those coaching sessions with Serena Williams’ husband and ask him how to be a good husband to a GOAT athlete. Alexis Ohanian does it well.” 

After the Reddit co-founder was crowned with the good husband tag, a lot of other fans also shared their opinion on the same. A fan wrote, “Serena’s husband is the gold standard man. Simone deserves so much more.” 

While the other one talked about how Ohanian never fails to support his wife, “Alex stays his lane and supports his wife. He will never go on a show and disparage her.” 

Moreover, a fan took a sarcastic tone to put the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s husband on top. She wrote, “Serena husband is a somebody in his industry Simone husband is a nobody all around.” 

Another fan talked about how standing behind his wife is a sign of greatness. “Men need to learn to cherish their succesful wifes. There are some famous men because they are just perfectly taking care of their wife.”

In addition, another fan was not happy with how things turned out to be and detailed a clear comparison between the two. He stated, “Alexis is secure in himself and what he has to offer. So he doesn’t get intimidated by his wife’s light. Simone Biles’ husband is insecure and unhealed.” 

Nevertheless, it won’t be wrong to say that, apart from being a good businessman, he has earned the best husband tag. Well, earlier this year, Ohanian also talked about how he manages to balance his work and personal life to be on top of the game as a husband.

Williams’ husband talks about balancing his perfect life 

A few months ago, in an interview, Alexis Ohanian went deeper to explain the reality of how he managed to give time to his family even after having a successful name in the business world. He highlighted, “I don’t think it’s about work-life balance. I don’t think anyone can really accomplish that. It’s not about balancing.”

Along with that, he also mentioned that it’s not about having a work-life balance but staying for what’s right. While a lot of fans believe that he is the best husband, his efforts to keep his family and his support for his wife’s career at the top have always kept him in the loop.

 

Serena Williams is someone who keeps herself engaged. She takes care of her investment firm and two daughters, which means that she does not have much idle time in the day. Williams has great organizing skills, which help her throughout the day. She dived into her organizing mode and how tennis helped her with creating a daily schedule.

In a prior interview, Williams talked about how busy she is because of her involvement in Serena Ventures. She needs a proper schedule and even talked about how she added a specific time for relaxing.

Williams used to manage a similar schedule the tennis players of today have to work with. With her career spanning more than two decades, she knows how to map out her entire year when it comes to tennis. Now that she is retired, she deals with just as much work as she tackles Serena Ventures. In a recent interview uploaded on her YouTube channel, Williams talked about her organizational skills.

She said that she likes utmost control over her schedule, has mapped out her time till March 2024, and loves knowing what she has to do every day. The Queen of the Court further explained how tennis helped her face this challenge.

I can get very organized to be ready to face that challenge. I think that discipline really came from tennis, um, because you know where you’re going every year, um, you know where you’re going to be at in January, you know, what’s going to happen in, you know, October. So, um, I think that that discipline was just kind of just built into me.”

For her, organizing is one of the most important tasks. However, she schedules something that many people find natural.

Williams has to schedule relaxing time

With Serena Ventures keeping her busy and with two daughters, Williams does not find time to relax easily. She loves the busy lifestyle, but it can get exhausting for someone like her as well. To make sure that she is recharged each day, the 23-time grand slam champion has to schedule time for relaxing.

She talked about it in an interview with CBS Morning and told the host that, “I don’t know how to relax, it’s so hard for me to relaxI have to schedule it in my schedule. I’m not kidding.” Although tennis does help her keep a good schedule, she does not know how to kick back properly. But keeping it in her schedule helps her keep herself fresh.
