Serena Williams Hits the Tennis Court with Daughter Olympia in New Instagram Video

As of late, we've been refreshing Serena Williams's Instagram page for her many stunning fashion moments. However, we should never be surprised when the superstar athlete brings the focus back to tennis.

Just a few days back, Williams shared a video of her and her 4-year-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian, facing off on the tennis court (and wearing matching outfits while doing it). Williams captioned the clip, “Sometimes it be ya own mini!”

In the video, we see Williams bouncing a tennis ball and getting ready to serve before looking across the court and seeing Olympia—in her best return stance—giggling. “Really?” Williams says with a smirk. “This is nuts.” She then hits the ball across the court and Olympia swings at it (and comically misses).

Williams's husband and Olympia's dad, Alexis Ohanian, commented on the video, saying, “I refuse to believe @olympiaohanian missed that.” Meanwhile, the official S by Serena account wrote, “Queens of the court.”

In the video, Williams is seen wearing a redesign of the iconic Nike x Off-White dress that she wore to the 2019 French Open. And her daughter, Olympia, was sporting the same design (in a much smaller version, of course).

This is not the first time the mother-daughter duo have matched. Just a couple weeks back, the 40-year-old athlete uploaded a photo of her and Olympia donning the same pink Balmain dress. In her caption, Williams said, “Hey @olympiaohanian, remember that time when we were in Paris? And we slayyyyyyeddddd. @balmain.”

We have seen the pair rock matching tennis outfits on a number of occasions, and Williams has even pulled out a princess dress on the court so that she could play with her daughter.

Could they be any cooler?
