Serena Williams’s wishes for Olympia to see mom ‘fighting’ during US open

At the US open this past Saturday, Serena Williams was joined by her toddler daughter and husband Alexis Ohanian at the Billie Jean National Tennis Center in New York City.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, outsiders weren’t permitted within the premises and therefore the daddy daughter duo got a front side view of their favourite woman ‘fight’ for her win.

Following her match, the official Twitter account for the venue reported on Williams match and when the interviewer enquired about Olympia’s presence, the one thing Williams was admittedly focused on, was the hope that her daughter witnessed her mom ‘fight’ for her spot.

Willaims was quoted saying, "Well, I forgot she was coming out, so I hope that she saw her mama fighting. Having said that however, “I don’t think she was paying attention, between you and me. She may have been playing with some princesses upstairs."

While the toddler might not have been the most attentive audience member at the stands, the little tyke sure got riled up in excitement when she saw her mom out on the court.

Alexis Ohanian took to his personal Instagram account to share a clip featuring the exact moment the little rug rat realized her mom was out playing on the field.
