Well, the much-talked-about 2023 Miami Grand Prix was a rare occasion when these three phenoms shared a frame together.

Notably, this was the second instance within two weeks when Serena and the Swiss Maestro attended the same event. For the unversed, Federer and the younger Williams sister also showed up at the memorable Met Gala 2023. Not to forget that the 23-time grand slam champ attended both of these events while pregnant. And in Federer’s own words, meeting the Williams sisters was nothing but “a nice surprise.”
