Serena Williams Predicts Daughter Olympia’s Tennis Career Wins With Adorable Photo
Though Serena Williams didn’t compete at the Australian Open this year, that doesn’t mean tennis is far from her mind. Not only is she set to return to the world of competitive tennis later this month, but she’s also getting her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Jr., who she calls Olympia, ready to compete.
The 36-year-old tennis star shared an adorable photo of her five-month-old on Instagram on Thursday, which features her holding a mini pink Wilson tennis racket and staring at it intensely. The picture came with an epic story to go with it.
“Olympia Ohanian, at match point, championship point, even without her shoes she’s hard to beat,” Williams captioned the shot. “Serving now For her 12th Wimbledon title. 3 more than her mum Serena.”
Williams is clearly ready for Olympia to follow in her footsteps, though apparently, she has a few more tennis milestones she wants to accomplish herself first. In the caption, she notes that her daughter is trying to win her 12th Wimbledon title, which would be three more than her mom’s, but Williams currently only has seven singles wins at that Grand Slam. She also has five wins for doubles at the tournament, which would bring her total to 12, so she couldn’t be referring to that number.
This means Williams, who is set to return to competition at the U.S. Fed Cup in Asheville, North Carolina, on Feb. 10, plans on continuing to play for at least a couple more years. She does have two more Wimbledon titles to win, after all, and the next opportunity for her to do so is when the Grand Slam’s 2017 tournament begins on July 2.
Olympia will have many chances to learn from her mom on the court before she takes up the sport herself. The new racket is a good start, though. Of course, since Williams has been a Wilson Advisory Staff Member for years, this is the brand racket her daughter was gifted. Williams has been smashing records for a long time with Wilson equipment, with her current racket of choice being the Blade SW104, so it makes sense she’d want to pass that down to her daughter.
Now we’ll all just have to watch and see if Williams’ Instagram prediction comes true.
