Playing tennis might be one of Serena Williams' biggest passions, but so far, it doesn't sound like her daughter is going to follow in her footsteps. According to Serena, Olympia doesn't like to play tennis, despite the fact that playing the game runs in her family — and she's actually pretty bummed about it.
So far, Olympia's not much for tennis
During an appearance on Person to Person with Norah O'Donnell this week, Serena revealed that Olympia "doesn't actually like to play tennis too much," which is a shame, since she's already showing a talent for it.
"That's a little disappointing for me, but she's actually really good at it," she said. "So we are trying to figure out a way to get her to play a little bit."
Her mom has a few ideas on how to change that
"Maybe I can push her into tennis by getting other kids to have a group lesson, I think that's what I'm gonna do," she added.
She might just find it more fun if her friends can join her … especially since Olympia is only 5 years old!
Olympia is no stranger to the tennis court
If you follow Serena on Instagram, you already know that she's posted photos and videos of her and Olympia hanging out on the tennis court together, playing and goofing off.
Even if she's not into the sport, it seems like she does have fun playing with her mom, which is all that really matters.
Her family has been busy lately
In fact, over the weekend Olympia joined her parents — including dad Alexis Ohanian — for a pretty classy event. Serena's niece, Justus Bobbitt, got married in a Derby-themed wedding, and of course, the guests had to dress the part.
These three are looking good, and Olympia is just too cute in that hat.
Olympia might change her mind about tennis as she gets older
But even if she doesn't, we have a feeling her mom will be willing to support her no matter what her passion turns out to be.
And if she does end up falling in love with tennis? Well, she has the best coach living right under her roof.
