Serena Williams’ Husband Alexis Ohanian Identifies Stark Difference Over Lionel Messi’s Fandom in America and the Rest of the World

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian, an avid sports fan, has invested in Angel City Football Club, which plays in the National Women’s Soccer League. The internet entrepreneur has also been regularly spotted in the players’ box during Serena’s matches on Tour.

Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, has also invested in a sports trading card platform Alt, which launched in 2021. However, he claimed a new addition to his digital vault with a famous acquisition.

The American took to Twitter to announce that he will be adding superstar footballer Lionel Messi to his vault collection. “It’s fun asking to the average American sports fan what they think about Messi — and then asking the average sports fan basically anywhere else in the world about him,” tweeted Ohanian. 

“This one likely stays in my @AltXYZofficial Vault forever-ever,” he added. Messi current plays for Paris St. Germain after spending 17 years in Barcelona. He has scored 681 goals and 317 assists in his career. Messi has also won the UEFA Champions League four times, while winning the Ballon d’Or a record 7 times.

Coming to Ohanian, he was with Serena Williams in London during her comeback to action at Wimbledon. However, unfortunately she came up short in the first round as she lost to Frenchwoman Harmony Tan.

Will Serena Williams return to Wimbledon next year?

After returning to tennis after a year’s absence, Serena made her comeback at the Eastbourne International. However, she only played doubles with World No.2 Ons Jabeur and the duo reached the semis in their first-ever partnership.

Against Tan, Williams showed glimpses of her dominant best but looked understandably rusty on Centre Court. However, she will be hoping to gain some match fitness by moving to the hardcourt swing in North America ahead of her home slam – the US Open.
