Serena Williams' daughters are unsurprisingly some of her biggest supporters. The tennis legend has shared plenty of moments on social media of her two kids joining her on the tennis courts. (Future Grand Slam champions in the making?) After she announced her comeback, the family joined Williams in London for Wimbledon, where Olympia (8) and Adira (3), could be seen courtside with their dad, Alexis Ohanian. While her Wimbledon run sadly ended in injury, Williams has continued to train and recover, and her daughters continue to have a front-row seat to their mom's determination and persistence.

In an Instagram post shared yesterday, the Grand Slam champion shared an endearing image of herself and Olympia. The pair appear to be on a tennis court, with Williams wearing a monochrome purple workout outfit and holding an empty water bottle. Olympia hugs her mom, burying her face in her chest.

"Sometimes all I need is her hug," Williams wrote in the caption.

Williams was most recently at the Cincinnati Open, which runs through this weekend. The athlete received a wild card entry along with her sister and longtime doubles partner, Venus Williams. The sisters faced off against Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns, but ultimately lost in a tiebreaker match that ended 8-10.

"Obviously, I wanted to do the best that I could do, but I think having fun and also just seeing how we are and how we feel out there [were the objectives]," Williams said in a press conference following the game. "Being out there with the fans, too, is just really good to give them another opportunity to see us play.”
