‘Hadn’t Even Registered Reddit’ – Alexis Ohanian Reminisces His Simple Life as a Vintage Serena Williams’ Nike Costume Resurfaces

Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams’ relationship is unique. Their story is just like those tales where people with different interests get connected by fate. While the 23 times Grand Slam champion was already the biggest name in tennis, Ohanian, who had barely any interest in sports, was renowned for co-founding Reddit. The tennis world was surprised when Serena disclosed her relationship with Ohanian, as she was rumored to be dating the Canadian rapper Drake at the time.

But at the same time, the feeling of how different their lives were when they first met in Rome is something that still surprises them. Here’s a comparison that Ohanian himself made regarding the same. 

Alexis Ohanian about how far he and Serena Williams have come

The co-founder of Reddit took to Twitter and shared Williams’ pictures from the year 2004. Dressed in a black Nike outfit, she was fighting for the US Open trophy back then, whereas he was still in a different phase of his life. “Damn, I was still running my phpbb forum from my uva apt…hadn’t even registered reddit.com yet,” tweeted Ohanian.

The former World no.1 made a comeback from a knee injury and started that season by securing the Miami Open. She suffered a dry spell throughout the year and expressed her disappointment by the number of times wrong line calls were made in her quarterfinal match against Jennifer Capriati at the US Open.

Although the chair umpire’s mistakes cost her a possible Grand Slam, she for sure brought a serious issue to light. As, post her defeat, the Hawk-Eye technology was implemented after the match. Circling back to Ohanian and Williams, they crossed paths almost 13 years after this 2004 US Open in Rome.

They were in the same hotel and met during breakfast. While the American legend and her team tried to scare off Ohanian by dropping the concerns of a rat’s presence to have some privacy, he decided to stick around and have his meal. From that brave move, their story started. 

Ohanian and Williams’ life now

The couple tied the knot in the year 2017 after Williams bagged her 23rd major trophy at the Australian Open. In the same year, they welcomed their firstborn. They welcomed their daughter Olympia in September and exchanged vows in November.
