‘She’s Whacking Him’- Ben Shelton and Other Tennis Stars Imagine a Tennis Match Between Serena Williams and Her Friend Drake

It’s a dream for every tennis fan to play against the American tennis legend Serena Williams. The famous Canadian rapper and singer, Drake, is a big tennis fan to boot. He was even spotted several times during Serena Williams’s matches a few years ago. And now, in a humorous twist, tennis phenom Ben Shelton teamed up with a couple more tennis stars to lay siege on how a tennis match would pan out between the Canadian rapper and Serena Williams.

Ben Shelton seized the opportunity to envision a funny ranking scheme, a pre-match take on who would win this tussle between the two, all with an ensuing hilarity. Is Serena’s credentials well established or they giving this one to the mighty Drake? 

Tennis’s finest give tidbits on the iconic Drake-Williams matchup

It all started when the rapper once revealed how he could defeat the American tennis star at her game through a song. Drake released his ‘Worst Behavior’ song from the album ‘Nothing Was the Same’ in 2013. In that song, he paid tribute to his friend, Serena Williams, by mentioning her name in the song. It said, “I’m with my whole set, tennis matches at the crib / I swear I could beat Serena when she playin’ with her left.“ Now, 11 years after the release of that song, this famous line has yet again lingered and prevailed.

The popular American video creator Brody recently had a short interview with tennis stars. During the interview, he asked them whether Drake could beat Serena Williams if she was playing with her left hand. To this Ben Shelton was the first to reply. He said, “With the left?! Drake is not beating Serena even if she’s playing with the left. She’s whacking him.“

Grigor Dimitrov said, “Drake my man, not a single chance.” While the other American tennis star, Frances Tiafoe laughed at the question and replied, “Absolutely not true. Pretty far from reality that one. Zero chance” There were several other players who gave their funny reactions to this question. And here’s what they said.

“No chance” – Stefanos Tsitsipas seals the deal with an evocatively funny take

Stefanos Tsitsipas says Drake has “no chance“ against Serena Williams. But can he even get a point? The Greek tennis star believes, “Maybe if he practises a lot, yes. I know he’s a good singer, but I don’t know how his tennis skills are.” 

 While Jannik Sinner also felt the same, he said, “I don’t think so. I would give him confidence in one game. You never know, you have to believe. One game I would come on.” What are your predictions for this mega match between Serena Williams and Drake?
