The three-year old didn’t like the taste of the fruit as she found it stinky. When her father asked about the rating she would give to the fruit, Olympia replied, “Zero”.
Even Serena Williams found the taste of the fruit to be sour and named it a ‘sour plum’. Coming to tennis, the 23-time grand slam champion is yet to make a decision regarding her comeback tournament post the retirement at Wimbledon.
