Aunt Venus Williams is a fan of Olympia
Recently Serena Williams shared a video where we see her on the court preparing intensely to serve a point. But then the camera focuses on the other end of the court and we see Serena’s daughter Olympia Ohanian swinging a racquet! The video is adorable because both mother and daughter are wearing matching outfits by Nike. Serena also expresses mock frustration about her opponent, which makes the video all the cuter!
Venus Williams has always been exuberant about her niece’s qualities, and she did not waste any time in resharing this video as well. Her caption on the story shows how heartwarming she found the video to be.
Previously, she had applauded the 4-year-old’s technique after Serena posted a video of Olympia making a shot. She is also enamored with Olympia’s skills, and once said that she is far ahead of how accomplished she was at her age.
