Serena Williams has gotten off to a wonderful start in the 2021 season. She recently defeated World No.3 Naomi Osaka in an exhibition match in Adelaide. Although the 23-time Grand Slam winner was playing almost after five months, she didn’t look out of form at all. The final scoreline of the match was 6-2, 2-6, 7-6.
Serena Williams is quite famous for her interviews. She loves to answer different questions off the court just like she just loves to hit her forehand winner.
In a recent rapid-fire round, she faced a really interesting question. She was asked that if she could be another tennis player for a day, who would she like to become. In response to this, Williams gave a pretty intriguing reply.

It is certainly quite surprising that Williams wants to be Grigor Dimitrov for a day. Since it was a rapid-fire round, Williams didn’t reveal any reason for her answer. However, fans are aware that both Dimitrov and Williams are great friends and the two have even enjoyed a really funny moment lately.

“You know what? No. I would love it. Actually, me and her and I think some of her sisters went to an amusement park. She gets so scared. If she’s up for it, I would jump off the mountain,” said Dimitrov on his Instagram live.
Dimitrov shared an incident and said that he would definitely jump off the mountain in the future if Williams would be ready to do the same with him. With the response, one could sense that two really like to pull each other’s leg occasionally.

Dimitrov will begin his 2021 campaign at an ATP 250 event before the Australian Open 2021. On the other hand, Williams will directly start at the Grand Slam where she’ll be eyeing her 24th Grand Slam title. Will Serena be able to end her drought and finally win a major after four years in Melbourne this time?
