There will never be another Serena Williams. This WTA legend’s unmatched dedication to the things she loves sets her apart from the rest. Though she retired from tennis two years ago, her bond with the sport remains unbroken. In a recent social media update, Williams shared glimpses of her bond with the sport – with a revelation that highlights what tennis truly means to her.
This Olympic gold-medalist tennis star is often seen swinging racquets on the court in her leisure, sometimes alone and sometimes with her elder daughter Olympia. Recently, she was also spotted enjoying tennis’ sister sport padel and expressed her tiredness after winning three sets and losing one. Despite everything, tennis still remains a very special aspect of Williams’ life and her followers got a glance of that in the WTA star’s recent social media update.
Williams shared a video on the X platform where she was seen hitting balls with her racquet on a tennis court. While enjoying the video, her followers couldn’t help but notice that it was raining lightly during Williams’ session. However, the legend ignored the weather to try her hands at her favorite sport. “When you love something come rain or shine you find a way to enjoy and keep doing it,” she captioned her video highlighting the fun she had during this tennis session.

A mother of two, Williams is an established entrepreneur with a leading beauty brand WYN Beauty based in the United States. She is also an investor and co-owner of Angel City FC and LAGC alongside her Reddit co-founder husband and daughters. Although she is quite busy balancing her life as a mother and entrepreneur, Williams hardly fails to pamper herself. From getting back in shape to trying her old Valentino denim skirt to her adorable beauty regime, this former WTA number one has inspired women across generations to prioritize their needs. Despite having a toddler of one and a half years, Williams tried padel and shared her experience.

Yesterday the WTA legend shared a social media update where she got ready for a new racquet sport, padel. In this video, Williams confessed that it was her first time trying it and she was “tired” in the final set of the match which she lost ultimately. “Alright! Just like that I finished, basically my first time playing padel. It was really fun and I won three sets and lost one set. Last set. It was the last set. I was tired and I was really angry and I smashed a ball on the fence (laughing). I am actually telling the truth, I really did that. Some things never change (singing),” wrote Williams highlighting her experience.
Williams’ IG video of her playing padel delighted the fraternity. Be it her forehand or her backhand, she surprised everyone by showing how good her strokes are after two years of retirement.
