On a tennis court, 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams is well-known as an aggressive player and fierce competitor. But off the court, she is one of the most humble and good-humored personalities. Interestingly, the Serbian World No.1 Novak Djokovic has now supported this claim and shared an example for the same.

Notably, it all happened during Will Smith’s Red Table Takeover for his film, King Richard. In essence, it is a biopic about Richard Williams, the father-coach of tennis queens Venus and Serena Williams. And so, during its promotional event, many stars shared their story of the Williams sisters, including Novak Djokovic.
