Macci recalls Serena Williams’ ‘Prankster’ incident 

Talking about Serena, in an interview, Macci said, “Serena was a little prankster. I’d say move your feet, she’d go why. I said you tell me you want to be number one she goes, I will be number one. She give me that look that you see at the U.S. Open, a lot of people watching this know what that looks like she had that look at 10 years old.”

Further, he went on to recall an incident. He said, “She told me, Rick, I’m really really hungry can you tell Scott to go to the machine and get me hot curly fries and a snicker bar and a Pepsi and a green day T-shirt? For the next 15 minutes, she was having her snack. For the next hour, this little girl was popping the popcorn, extra butter just non-stop for one hour sweats coming off her like the Niagara Falls and she was like Rick, you better have that T-shirt in the morning.”
