In a recent interview, Alexis Ohanian came ahead and talked about the importance of women’s sports and how they are changing the way people look at things. While shedding his opinion on the same, he took a moment to comment on Venus Williams and called her his ‘sister‘.

“Having a front-row seat to greatness and then let’s not forget my sister,” said Alexis Ohanian in the video while crediting Venus for a legendary career and still going on despite all odds against her. This was something that touched a fan’s heart.

Seeing this, a fan came on Twitter to post the clip and suggested that he loved it when Alexis Ohanian gave Venus Williams flowers as well. Alexis was quick to spot the post and replied ‘Always‘ while suggesting that he would do anything for her sister.

While appreciating women’s sports, Alexis Ohanian also gave a wonderful example of the US Open where women proved to be more dominant than men at the event.

In the video, Alexis Ohanian suggested that in tennis there is a great case study that has shown that irrespective of the Williams sister’s presence, the women have managed to bag more views than their male counterparts. Not only this, he also suggested that they are the ones who are bringing in more money to the sport.

“if you look at the US Open even if there is not a Williams sister in it more Americans watch the women’s US Open final than the men if you look at the top American tennis players of the last few decades. Who’s bringing in more money? It’s the women,” said Ohanian in the video.

Ohanian, who has always been an advocate of women’s equality, iterated how they have outshined men in tennis. While bagging more views than men, they have also brought more money to tennis.
