Over the years, Serena and Alexis have been spotted attending races in which Hamilton has competed. Even Lewis has been spotted in the Williams camp cheering her on during her matches. Once Serena happened to bump into Lewis when she was out with her daughter Olympia, shopping.
Coming to tennis, Williams began her season in Melbourne and came as far as the semifinal at the Australian Open. After that, she had a below-par clay season. She underperformed during the initial clay events and lost in the fourth round of the French Open.

Serena won’t be competing at the Australian Open 2022 as she hasn’t yet fully recovered from the hamstring injury she suffered during Wimbledon this year. We hope she makes her return to the tour as soon as possible.
