Serena Williams‘ legacy has never been limited to just the tennis world. As the legend emerged as a notable figure who created an influential era of powering women to come forward and play, she inspired countless people through her journey. Among the latest names who stepped forward in reverence is Angel Reese. The young American basketball player recently revealed Serena as her role model, pointing at her career as well as her style and beauty.

Renowned for her dominance as well as grace on the court, Serena has been consistent on her journey to inspire athletes across various sports. The LSU standout Angel Reese, who led her team to a historic NCAA women’s basketball championship in 2023, recently appeared in an interview with Vogue, in which she talked about how she owes much of her success to Williams’ influence.

Expressing her excitement over the comment, Serena Williams reflected, “It’s super exciting to stick here and just to inspire a woman and you know inspire this whole group of amazing athletes that can look beautiful and still be fierce.” Along with that, Serena also mentioned how she also valued both aspects, “That was always about how do I look beautiful and still be fierce at the same time.”

Reese’s journey appears to be quite similar to that of Williams’ own path of breaking barriers, both on and off the court. From being featured in Vogue to her sporting performances, Reese has been emerging as a perfect blend of athleticism and style, making it clear that she drew inspiration from the tennis legend.

While Serena Williams appreciated the path that Angel Reese has been pursuing, her husband and renowned tech entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian appears to be siding with Caitlin Clark, the young prodigy who broke all records by becoming the most expensive card in women’s basketball.

As soon as the update of her being regarded as the most valued player popped up on social media, Alexis didn’t waste time coming forward with a reaction. “Tried telling y’all,” he wrote, pointing at the fact that he already predicted this would happen.
