In the Williams-Ohanian household, it is quite obvious who’s got the best athletic genes. But Alexis Ohanian is still keen on dreaming of better days. Knowing that tennis is definitely not going to be the sport where he takes down Serena Williams, he is definitely hoping it to be golf. However, reality hit him quite hard, and now he is focusing on restoring his pride.

As he takes a step towards revolutionizing golf with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, he hopes to improve his game too. In fact, he is dreaming big and hopes to take down his wife, Serena Williams, as well.
