Blessed with another child, Serena Williams as of now is truly overwhelmed as she is trying her best to take care of her second daughter, Adira. But that hasn’t stopped her from pursuing her boss-woman goals. Her business end of the things is still being taken care of even if it means that she has to multitask between being a mother and an entrepreneur.

Recently she shared a post on her social media channel where it can be seen how she is juggling between motherhood and entrepreneurship. And as you would expect from Serena Williams, she is playing both roles flawlessly.

Tennis legend Serena Williams posted a video on her official business Instagram channel called Serena Ventures. In the video, she shared a few insights from behind the scenes on how she manages to care for and coddle Adira while also taking very important business decisions.

Williams can be heard making decisions about not making an investment in a company. She can also be seen talking about her business portfolio internally with her team. In fact, she also shares how she cannot be on the camera given that she has to take care of Adira along with being present to make important calls for her business.

As soon as she posted the video, it garnered warm reactions from her fans as well. They all came to support the fact that she is not only devoting her time to her work but also making sure to pamper Adira when needed.

One of the fans commented, “Love this. We all have so much to juggle while making an impact.” Serena’s struggle in the video can surely be relatable for a lot of mothers around and it seems to be resonating with her fans too.

Serena’s fans were beyond impressed seeing how she was managing everything including her work and her daughter. And she was doing it perfectly. A fan expressed it best, writing, “Awesome. Inspirational. A multitasking GOAT!

Another comment said, “Beauty and brains along with compassion and generosity! She’s a Queen! ♥️✨” Fans even appreciated her sense of managing both tasks at once which certainly is not easy for anyone.

 

Serena Williams surely knows how to steal fans’ hearts in just a heartbeat. This former world’s number-one tennis star recently replied to a fan’s overwhelming compliment on her official Instagram story. After that, the whole Serena Williams fan community seemed totally over the moon seeing their favorite tennis star being so humble.

Now Serena Williams fans know well that this tennis legend has always been active on social media sharing cute snippets of her private life with her daughter and husband. Williams’ straightforward attitude to the fans has also been hugely appreciated by many. However, with her recent gesture, she once again stole her fans.

Recently this tennis legend shared an Instagram post, where her elder daughter Olympia was shooting her famous mother. In that video, Serena Williams was applying a roll-on balm to soothe her muscles before a hectic schedule the next day. This video shot by Olympia garnered a lot of love from the fans including a special compliment from a particular fan, who wrote- “You gotta love Serena! She is the realest! She is Comfortable in her skin and everything.” 

Now Serena Williams seemed moved by the comment and she shared it, especially as a story on her Instagram profile. Not only did she share the comment, but she also dropped four red hearts to show her gratitude to the person.

Now Serena Williams has always been open about accepting her flaws and speaking about her ongoing mental health issues. This a big challenge for a star like her to share such intricate details of her personal life with people. However, she defied every norm and established herself as a true queen.

Now Serena Williams has always been open about accepting her flaws and speaking about her ongoing mental health issues. This a big challenge for a star like her to share such intricate details of her personal life with people. However, she defied every norm and established herself as a true queen.

Serena Williams’s off-court attitude is equally badass as her on-court strokes. From motherhood to appreciating fans, Williams knows how to do all perfectly. Now once again by acknowledging a fan’s love, she simply won the hearts of all.

Venus and Serena Williams undoubtedly shared an unmatched rivalry, as they have graced the women’s tour for more than two decades. However, the American tennis icons have never let their fierce on-court rivalry come in the way of their sisterly bond. While sharing a close relationship with her elder sister, the 23-time singles Grand Slam champion has pulled off some notorious acts, one of which has recently surfaced online.

From trespassing on her house to stealing items from Venus, the younger Williams sister has been accused of such humorous sibling shenanigans. Now, the ‘Queen of the Court’ has once again pulled off yet another notorious act with her elder sister Venus’ possession.

In her latest Instagram stories, Serena Williams shared a video clip of her elder sister’s black strap sandals. “I’M GONNA  STAY @VENUSWILLIAMS  SHOES…,” the 23-time singles Grand Slam champion further added the caption.

In another video clip, Serena was later sighted donning Venus’ footwear, as she also flexed those black sandals. The ‘Queen of the Court’ once again stole an item from her elder sister, who might later find out about it.

This is not the first time that the younger Williams sister has jokingly exposed herself as a thief. Even during her previous visit to Venus’ office, the former tennis ace was involved in a similar humorous activity that showcased her kleptomaniac tendencies in this sisterly bond.

Serena Williams also pulled off a similar act at her elder sister’s office

What good are siblings if you can’t tease them or steal their possessions? It seems like the ‘Queen of the Court’ is making the most of this universal language of siblings with Venus. In one of her previous social media posts, Serena Williams exposed herself for stealing items from the 7-time singles Grand Slam champion’s office while she was not there.

The younger Williams sister was sighted picking up wired earphones and a laptop charger as she said, “That in my bag.” Serena Williams took malicious pleasure in her heist as she proudly said, “Sometimes I come to Venus’s office and steal things.”

 

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian’s love is beyond description. Even though they have been together since 2017, they have raised the bar for what true love means. Not only that, he also adores the 42-year-old American tennis legend’s love for the multiverse and Disney characters. Now and then, he never misses an opportunity to surprise her while taking a trip to the iconic Disneyland.

But now, 4 years after their last visit as a couple, the whole family took a trip to Disney World, creating memories as a family. This time, it was Olympia who joined her parents on the adventure trip that she might never forget.

Recently, the 23-time Grand Slam Champion’s family, including her husband and her 6-year-old daughter, went on a family trip to Disney World. The love between Williams and Disney is quite out in the open, in the same way, her daughter is also quite into princesses and the beautiful fictional world.

Some amazing insights from their trip are going viral on social media, where the whole family was seen enjoying the little moments of joy together. The family was seen testing the special effects of the journey of water that was inspired by Moana. Which is a new addition that opened this year at Epcot. Along with that, they also meet Moana’s character and Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog.”

The former world number one, in a video released by Disney, talked about her experience. She said, “Everyone is always so happy.  It’s like you can step away from all the stress and worries from the world and then come here and just relax.” Subsequently, Williams also highlighted how the newest addition, Epcot, is a great place to visit.

“It’s really a wonderful place for adults. They have great food. I love the ‘Frozen’ ride there.” she stated. However, do you know that this is not the first time the 42-year-old American tennis legend has gone to Disney World?

Williams’ Disney trip down the memory lane

As a couple, Williams and Ohanian had enjoyed their own time at Disneyland. In 2019, the co-founder of Reddit surprised his wife by taking her to Disneyland’s Star Wars: Edge of the Galaxy theme park. Ohanian gave her the trip as a magical gift and surprised her with it. Furthermore, he posted an excerpt of their journey on Instagram.

He also included a lovely caption for his wife.  Ohanian stated, “Celebrating my wife today and every day. Even though she never lets me win, Always. Let. Me. Win.”

The image, which appeared to be from a dream, showed the 42-year-old sitting in a restaurant with a Star Wars theme. And now, four years later, with a little addition, the couple once again enjoyed their time as a family.

 

The loving husband and caring father, Alexis Ohanian is back at it again. The Reddit founder turned hedge fund manager often shares tiny delightful moments with his family on the internet. Fans are as excited for his tweets and posts as they are for Serena Williams. In a recent turn of events, Ohanian shared another very exciting and kind of funny tweet. The star of this tweet was no other than his 6-year-old daughter Olympia.

The internet as always is adoring this latest tweet. Ohanian has undoubtedly won many hearts through his personality alone. What he put up this time is worth talking about.

The hustle of a morning with the rush to school, and the backdrop of a business trip is what Ohanian is routine to. He took us into a slice of his life that’s both relatable and heartwarming. In a recent tweet that stirred the internet’s affection, Ohanian shared a screenshot from a FaceTime call with his 6-year-old daughter, Olympia.

The caption said: “Facetime on the way to school when I’m on a business trip.” This unveiled a snippet of the everyday juggle faced by the doting father. The screen captures a genuine moment as a glimpse into the balancing act between career responsibilities and familial duties. Ohanian, through the simplicity of a digital encounter delivered a profound message about the importance of staying connected. It makes it even more meaningful as the father-daughter duo is miles apart.

Ohanian’s tweet resonates not just as a celebrity sharing a personal tidbit but as a reminder of the universal struggle of parents. Especially those who are striving to be present in their children’s lives. This fleeting but impactful moment perfectly encapsulates the modern narrative of parenthood. Fortunately, technology bridges gaps and allows for shared moments despite physical distances.

In the whirlwind of their bustling schedule, Ohanian, despite his demanding roles as a hedge fund manager and entrepreneur, remains the embodiment of a committed family man. Ohanian continues to carve out such moments.

This echoes a sentiment mirrored by his wife, Serena Williams, whose illustrious career in athletics hasn’t deterred her from being a present and nurturing mother. The Ohanian-Williams duo defies the norm, proving that even amidst success and tight schedules, family remains a priority worth cherishing.

 

All seemed to be going well for the athletes. However, a shocking accident at the SoFi arena in Florida saw Serena Williams and her husband along with partner Michelle Wie West postpone the plans for their team at the much-anticipated TGL. Nevertheless, the athletic duo did not stop from getting back up, dusting themselves off, and moving forward.

The unfortunate accident led to the golfer deciding to work on another collaboration, but this time, it was with her older sister, Venus Williams. And now, in a surprise of sorts, the 34-year-old decided to open the new chapter in grand fashion as she took to her social media handle to announce the same, stopping many in their tracks!

The LPGA icon had played her last professional match earlier this year at the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open. However, her withdrawal from the sport didn’t stop the woman golfer from going all out in sponsoring the Los Angeles-based golf team with the tennis star followed by yet another team-up for a limited edition smoothie blend with Venus Williams.

A story was uploaded to West’s Instagram to reveal the new product. The update shares a video that was initially posted on the official handle of the brand. Moreover, it showcases the 1X major champ disclosing the arrival of her “limited edition” collab with Happy Viking Superfood, a reinvented breakfast by the older tennis star.

The 5X LPGA Tour winner released the same all the while mentioning how “keeping her family happy and healthy is her number one goal.” Adding on, she announced the launching of her new flavor, “Tropical Smoothie,” as the athlete urged the viewers to try out the same whilst pointing out the pros of the blend.

One can hope that this collaboration would see a much better future as opposed to the delayed one that the golfer experienced with Serena Williams. Regardless, it couldn’t be helped owing to the unfortunate nature of the accident.

The LPGA icon had earlier joined hands with the tennis stars to launch a golf team representing Los Angeles in the new league by Tiger Woods. However, the roof of the TGL venue collapsing led to the sponsors delaying its launch to 2025 all the while expressing their support for the fans and followers alike.

On the 15th of November, the SoFi center’s roof experienced a collapse overnight as a result of a deflation due to a power outage. This led to the air-supported dome section of the venue getting damaged and subsequently leading to falling in. Although none had been harmed during the same, the new tech-infused league, which was ready to kick off on January 9, 2024, saw itself being delayed.

 

How many of you remember the former WTA pro who denied Serena Williams of a clean sweep at the Grand Slam in 2015? Roberta Vinci was recently spotted posing with the 22-year-old poster boy of Italian tennis, Jannik Sinner. And the 40-year-old former WTA pro has now proposed a question for the youngster.

Serena Williams’ defeat to the 43 ranked Italian has been described by the commentators as one of the biggest upsets in the history of the sport. Vinci defeated the defending champion by three sets to book her place in the finals of the US Open in 2015.
A 32-year-old Roberta Vinci had defeated Serena Williams 2-6,6-4,6-4 in a thrilling 2-hour-long encounter at the Flushing Meadows. She had never even won a set against Williams before that match. So facing the defeat to an unseeded Italian must have been a bolt from the blue to the tennis fans. Vinci was in the limelight during her first Grand Slam semi-final appearance. And now she’s again back to the headlines after posing with Sinner.
Recently, Roberta Vinci caught up with Jannik Sinner at the Italian Super Tennis Awards. Sinner won the MVP award for his astonishing feats this year. But the most widely talked about moment came when she posted a pic with Sinner captioning, Mixed doubles in Australia?”
Fans quickly jumped into the scene and shared her posts on social media. Sinner has just had one of the best seasons of his career. Would you love to see the Italians together at mixed doubles in Melbourne Park?
Fans have witnessed a remarkable display of resilience from the 22-year-old Italian throughout the season. His ability to hold the nerves at the crucial moments of the match has caught the eyes of several experts in the game. Jannik Sinner has won 4 titles this season, including a maiden triumph at the ATP Masters 1000 title in Canada. He reached the semis of Wimbledon and the finals of the season-ending championship. Sinner played a pivotal role in clinching the first Davis Cup for Italy after an almost 47-year-long wait. He became the first Italian to finish the year in the top 5.
But now, the season has ended, and it’s time to focus on what’s next. Jannik Sinner will start his 2024 campaign at the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne. The exhibition tournament is scheduled to take place from January 10 to January 12. However. the world number 4 won’t be participating in this year’s Adelaide Open, so this would be a good preparatory camp ahead of the Austarlian Open. Can Sinner create a historic moment in Australia next season?

With her sheer intensity and dedication on the court, Serena Williams carved out an unrivaled legacy on the women’s tour. However, the American tennis icon’s ferocity on the court has now prompted her former coach, Eric Hechtman, to draw parallels between the WTA legend and her former male counterpart, Rafael Nadal.

During the twilight of their illustrious tennis journey, Hechtman was the coach and hitting partner of both the Williams sisters. Reminiscing about his brief coaching partnership with Serena, the American coach recently brought to light a rare similarity between the former tennis ace and the Spanish ATP superstar, Rafael Nadal.
Venus and Serena Williams, who have clinched a combined 30 major titles, have always served as inspirational figures for the young generation of women’s players. Notably, the Williams sisters’ former coach was asked about what he thinks makes the American tennis icons ‘so special’, apart from their achievements and titles.
In an exclusive interview with EssentiallySports, Hechtman said, “Yeah, so that was a while ago. I mean, it was both of them at the same time at the Miami Open. Both very different, you know, practices were extremely different, but, you know, it’s very similar to Venus in the sense that they were both humble and just kind of, you know, relaxed a bit in practice, but intense at the same time, right?”

Hechtman also asserted that the 23-time singles Grand Slam champion had an ‘ultimate intensity’ on the court during her practice sessions. He added, “You know, there’s a sense of calm in the practice, right in peace, you know, but very intense, you know. Serena has ultimate intensity, you know, and you got all these champions and things that they have similar.”

Meanwhile, the American coach also compared Serena Williams to her former male counterpart, Rafael Nadal. He said, “Serena is similar to Rafa in that sense with, you know, the fire that she brings to that practice court, but, you know, similar but different. So I would say that.”

 

Serena Williams‘ husband, Alexis Ohanian’s devotion to women’s sports has rarely been kept hidden from the public lens. The internet mogul previously invested in Angel City FC, which is now valued at $180 million and has been performing brilliantly in the National Women’s Soccer League. However, two important people have inspired Ohanian to invest in the start-up soccer club.

The Reddit co-founder previously revealed how his daughter Olympia’s unwavering support for the USWNT  during the FIFA World Cup influenced his big ‘soccer’ decision. Aside from his little one, there is another person who has inspired Ohanian to invest in Angel City FC, according to his recent disclosures.

The official Twitter page of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team recently shared some pictures of Serena Williams and her family posing with some of the prominent players. Even Alexis Ohanian was there in the stands, as he was sighted donning the jersey of the American soccer star Alex Morgan.

Taking note of these heartfelt pictures, one of the fans was quick to spot the internet mogul’s special appearance alongside his family. In the comment section of the tweet, a user said, “Glad to see @alexisohanian had on the goat @alexmorgan13 jersey.”

It later received a response from Ohanian, who was prompted to open up about how the 34-year-old soccer player has inspired him to make the big ‘soccer’ decision to invest in Angel City FC. He commented, “She’s the reason I got into @NWSL ownership”

Just like her father, Olympia was previously spotted wearing the jersey of Morgan during the FIFA World Cup, and she also received a special response from the USWNT star herself.

Alex Morgan was stunned after witnessing Olympia’s moves in her jersey

During the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Olympia didn’t leave any stone unturned in showcasing her support for the USWNT. While keeping track of her country’s matches on television, the American tennis legend’s daughter was sighted donning an Alex Morgan jersey.

On his Twitter account, Alexis Ohanian shared a video clip of his little one doing a solo run while she was wearing that USWNT jersey. The 34-year-old soccer player couldn’t resist replying to Olympia’s ‘speedy’ moves as she commented, “The speed though”.

 

Tennis saw the end of the illustrious career of one of the legends of the game last year at the US Open. With a heavy heart and eyes full of tears, the 23-time grand slam winner, Serena Williams bid adieu to the sport that made her a legendary figure. While an emotional Serena Williams announced her retirement, the whole world joined her as her fans could not stop themselves from reacting to this dreadful moment.

Shedding light on the same, the former coach of Serena Williams, Eric Hechtman, in an exclusive interview, gave his opinion on a perfect ending to an illustrious career for the American legend. While suggesting the roller coaster of emotions that the sport drives, he suggested that her ending was bittersweet.

In an exclusive interview, Eric Hechtman offered his insights into the emotional atmosphere surrounding Serena Williams’ farewell from the sport. He suggested that tennis is an emotional roller coaster. He further added there comes a point in a player’s life when they are only focused on winning more titles and trophies. However, reflecting on the moment, he suggested that it was ‘wild’.

Hechtman further went ahead to add that throughout Williams’ career, her family has been very supportive, including her husband and even her sister Venus Williams, who was present on the day when Serena Williams announced her retirement from the sport. He suggested that she is a blessed woman as she has everyone by her side.

“Yeah, I mean, of course, sports is an emotional roller coaster. You know, when you when you’re in the middle of it, maybe not as much because you’re so focused on winning, you know, one moment at a time, one point at a time. But yeah, it was wild. I mean, she, you know, she’s a blessed woman,” said Hechtman in the interview.

She’s got so much support from her husband and her family. And so it was nice to see everybody there, including Venus supporting her. So it was, you know, bittersweet way to end, but all in all, you know, it was a great way,” he further added.

Thus, the moment when Serena Williams announced her retirement from the sport was a very emotional moment for everyone. Not only did the former world number 1 go emotional but the whole world cried alongside one of the legends of the game.

However, months after announcing her retirement from the sport, Serena Williams went ahead and suggested that her decision to retire from the sport hadn’t done justice to her.

In an interview earlier this year, Serena Williams, who has retired from the sport said that she believes that there is a lot of professional tennis that remains in her. She suggested that she wanted to end her career on a very high level and that she could still play professionally.

Williams added that her decision to retire from the game has torn her. “It’s interesting. I think I feel torn because I’m still able to play at a very, very, very high level,” she said. “With that being said, I always wanted to leave the game playing at a very high level.”

Thus, despite causing havoc on the tennis court throughout her life as a professional player, Serena  Williams believed that there was a lot of tennis left in her, despite her retirement from the sport.
