Serena Williams has long been known as a dominant force in tennis, and many have hoped that her daughter, Olympia, would follow in her footsteps. However, recent citings suggest that Olympia may have other ideas. In this piece, we’ll see how and why Olympia could crush her mother’s dreams.
It seems that Olympia has developed a love for soccer, much to her mother’s dismay. Serena has been vocal about her desire for Olympia to become a tennis star. Olympia’s father, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, has a passion for soccer, and he may be passing that on to their daughter.
“She’s my little buddy,” Serena said when she was asked about Olympia’s relationship with her. “We do everything together. We go on dates and it’s so cool because she likes everything I do except for tennis.” While Serena might not be the biggest fan of her new interest, Alexis Ohanian cannot be happier.

They regularly go to Major League Soccer Games and Olympia is already a die-hard fan of the sport. After she scored a goal against the goalkeeper Alexis Ohanian after one of the matches, the crowd could not help but be in awe of how adorable it looked.

“It’s more like an evolution of Serena,” she explained. “So for me, I feel like a lot of people could relate to that. Sometimes you just have a platform to just talk about what a lot of people can’t really put into words or really talk about. Yeah, it’s just an evolution.”
