If time demands it, Alexis Ohanian will build a tennis court at their residence for his queen. Just like he once built an official US Open surface at their Florida residence in 2022. However, whether Serena Williams‘ husband has been a tennis fan, it would be a slight overstatement.

Ohanian recently made a startling revelation about him trying his wife’s intense sport. Having seen Ohanian’s vehement support of his tennis legend wife over the last five years, this will come as a surprise to the Reddit cofounder’s fans.
