Serena Williams’ Daughters Turn to Other Sports As She Enjoys Family Time Before Cincinnati Open Exit
Four years after playing doubles together during Serena Williams’ initial retirement at the 2022 US Open, Venus Williams and the 23-time Grand Slam champion have reunited for doubles at the Cincinnati Open. Ahead of their opening doubles match at the WTA 1000 event, Serena was spotted spending time with her daughters, Olympia and Adira, at the venue, indulging their interest in other sports.
Serena Williams and her daughters, Olympia and Adira, were recently spotted at the Cincinnati Open, enjoying each other's company while the tennis champion prepared for her upcoming doubles match. The 44-year-old Williams has been away from the sport for four years, taking time to recover from a knee injury sustained in her first-round singles loss at the US Open. She is now set to resume her comeback at the grass-court season event in Cincinnati.
Ahead of her opening doubles match alongside her sister Venus, Serena Williams made time to engage with her daughters. Olympia, who showed no interest in tennis, was seen kicking a soccer ball around, while Venus helped her 23-time Grand Slam champion daughter Adira practice her baseball swing. Serena has openly expressed her enjoyment of practicing doubles with her sister, acknowledging that it feels different compared to competing in both singles and doubles.
In their first-round match at the Cincinnati Open, the Williams sisters faced off against Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns. Despite an impressive comeback after losing the first set, Kostyuk and Stearns ultimately prevailed with a score of 6-2, 1-6, [10-8], advancing to the next round. Serena Williams' future plans with Venus remain uncertain, as the final wildcard spots for the US Open have yet to be announced.
