‘I Swear I Could Beat Serena When…’ – Canadian Rapper Drake Once Made a Massive Revelation About Serena Williams in His ‘Worst Behavior’ Song

Playing against Serena Williams has been a dream for many players. Take the example of Coco Gauff. When the 23-time Grand Slam champion announced her retirement earlier this year, Gauff revealed her wish to play against her idol during the US Open. However, her wish didn’t materialize.

Further, not all players have enjoyed playing against Serena. Star players like Agnieszka Radwanska and Sara Errani have had winless runs against the American legend in 10 and 9 matches, respectively. Canadian rapper, Drake once revealed how he could defeat Serena at her game.

When Drake mentioned Serena Williams in his ‘Worst Behavior’ song

In 2013, Drake released his ‘Worst Behavior’ song from the album ‘Nothing Was the Same’. The rapper paid tribute to his friend, Serena by mentioning her in the song.

“I’m with my whole set, tennis matches at the crib / I swear I could beat Serena when she playin’ with her left,” Drake rapped.

Subsequently, during a press conference, Serena mentioned Drake, saying, “We’ve been friends for, like, so many years. Just like family.”

Drake’s song on the Serena-Sharapova rivalry

The Canadian rapper also has a song dedicated to the rivalry between Serena and Maria Sharapova. In 2015, he released the album ‘Back to Back’ inspired by the two tennis stars’ rivalry.

Talking about the idea behind the song, Drake said, “I was with Serena at the time. And we had been talking a lot about her and [Maria] Sharapova going back and forth over the years.”

Sharapova and Serena had one of the greatest rivalries in women’s tennis. The two faced off against each other on 22 occasions. Serena dominated their matches, winning on 20 occasions out of 22. Although the result often went in Serena’s favor, the matches between them were keenly contested.

While Sharapova ended her illustrious career after the Australian Open in 2020, Serena retired after this year’s US Open.
