The sporting dimension of Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian’s household is about to change. Although the “Queen of the Court” is a tennis legend, their 6-year-old daughter is still trying out different sports. Unfortunately, at the same time, she is also keeping her distance from tennis, which would come as a disappointment to her mother. But now, her devoted father has intervened to rescue the day by taking on a new role for his daughter, in an effort to further enhance his daughter’s love for tennis.

Although he harbors a deep love for soccer, the 40-year-old American entrepreneur seems to have changed his daughter’s take on tennis in a positive manner. Recently, the former tennis legend’s daughter stunned everyone as she took on a sport she hadn’t fancied for a long time.

While the former WTA world number one is quite open about her eldest daughter’s sporting preferences, now the doting father, Ohanian, is there to change that reality. Recently, there was a picture posted on the 6-year-old’s Instagram account in which she was seen playing tennis.

Along with a proper tennis practice session picture, the caption reads, “Papa is my ballboy.” 

The daughter of the 41-year-old American tennis legend was seen in that photograph hitting some balls on the tennis court while her father assisted her in the session. It won’t be wrong to say that ball boy Papa might have changed his daughter’s mind about tennis.
