Earlier today, Alexis posted a picture on twitter that had Olympia holding a racquet to play tennis. The entrepreneur admitted recently that he never played tennis before.

Good morning. I’m working on my inevitable evolution into TennisDad”, quoted Alexis.

A lot of tennis fans have responded to this adorable picture of Olympia attempting to play tennis, and even suggested ways for kids to start practicing the sport.

One of the comments advised Ohanian to encourage Olympia to play Pickleball. Pickleball is a lot similar to tennis, and it mixes rules from Badminton and Table Tennis as well. In this sport, players will be given paddles instead of racquets.

The internet entrepreneur responded and said that he will try and make Olympia practice pickleball.

Another user had responded with a cheeky comment as she asked whether Alexis cut his long hair.

Serena also lost to the Romanian world number three Simona Halep in the finals of Wimbledon 2019. Ahead of the French Open this year, the American played two tournaments and lost in the initial rounds in both of them.

However, Serena might turn the tables in Roland Garros with few players struggling with injuries before the tournament. While Halep announced her withdrawal from the tournament earlier today, the 2019 French Open champion Ash Barty also appeared to be struggling with a right shoulder injury.

Naomi Osaka, who defeated Serena several times over the past few years, also had a tough run on the red-dirt this year. Even though these injuries might benefit the American, the underlying threat of clay-court specialists like Aryna Sabalenka, Elina Svitolina, Kiki Bertens, etc is a worrisome factor for Serena Williams.
