In one clip posted on her Instagram, set to the tune of “Into the Thick of It” by The Backyardigans, Williams and Olympia can be seen warming up with stretches and jumping exercises. Williams then guides her daughter on her forehand swing, encouraging her to imagine the tennis balls as cupcakes to improve her technique. Olympia successfully Һιts all four balls, prompting a joyful victory dance shared by mother and daughter.

In another heartwarming moment, Williams imparts advice passed down from her own father on achieving the perfect forehand swing. As Williams demonstrates, Olympia mimics her mother’s stance, showing promise in her budding tennis skills. Proud dad Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, expresses his excitement in the comments, declaring his readiness to embrace the role of a “Tennis Dad.”

Olympia began learning tennis as a socially safe activity. Williams, reflecting on the decision, explained that enrolling Olympia in lessons was a way to keep her engaged while adhering to social distancing measures. The tennis champion also shared a humorous anecdote about preparing Olympia for her first lesson, ensuring the instructor was unaware of their familial connection. Additionally, Olympia recently paid homage to her mother’s iconic catsuit by sporting a miniature version during practice, following in Williams’ fashionable footsteps
