SERENA WILLIAMS GETS EMOTIONAL AFTER DAUGHTER OLYMPIA’S FIRST RECITAL 😥 “SHE’S A BALLERINA”
Serena Williams made a wholesome appearance on social media post her 2021 Wimbledon Championship exit. Fans were devastated to see her pull out of the competition following an injury mid-game. What came following were speculations of a retirement, which left followers in agony with questions.
However, in a rather pleasant video, Serena recorded her experience at her daughter Olympia’s first dance recital. The American Tennis legend can’t seem to contain her excitement, “Okay so we’re at Olympia’s first recital which I’m super excited about and it’s going to be fun, She’s a ballerina”, she said.
All smiles and giggles, however, turned to little tears of joy as Serena got emotional watching her toddler perform.
As shared on her Instagram story, Serena is clearly enjoying time with her family, taking a much-needed break and watching her daughter twirl and turn her way around the stage.
“So I was really getting emotional and I cried a minute at Olympia’s dance recital and it was only a minute and 23 seconds and It was so cute and she did so good..”, the proud mother said.
Serena’s return to the grass-court was a painful one. Deemed as the tournament’s favorite, Serena slipped on the court during her first-round match, injuring her right thigh. As ecstasy turned into unbearable agony, the 39-year-old had no option but to withdraw from the tournament.
Ever since her exit, she has been making rounds all over the news. As her future lies in doubt, fans are flooding social media with all sorts of questions, in the hope to find an answer that would help them.
However, Serena chooses to stay grounded at the moment, not making any formal announcements and spend as much time with her family as possible.

SERENA WILLIAMS TAKE CARRIAGE RIDE THROUGH N.Y.C.’S CENTRAL PARK WITH HUSBAND ALEXIS OHANIAN
While the U.S. Open winds down in Queens, Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian decided to take a horse drawn carriage in Manhattan. Williams, was spotted in a carriage going through Central Park on Sunday afternoon with her husband of nearly five years.
The superstar shocked the tennis world in August when she and her sister Venus Williams withdrew from the major tournament. Serena was wearing a red short-sleeved Gucci shirt, while staying safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic with a blue face mask.
She also wore a pair of black sunglasses and wore a blue Brooklyn Dodgers New Era baseball cap for her outing. She completed her look with black leggings, white sandals and a brown Gucci purse during the outing. Ohanian was spotted wearing a black t-shirt and grey shorts as he rode in the carriage with his wife.
Unlike his wife, Ohanian didn't wear a face mask, though he was also seen wearing a light black puffer coat. The Reddit co-founder was all smiles while hanging out with his wife, on the same day that the U.S. Open came to a close. Serena took to Instagram on August 25 to announce she was withdrawing from the U.S. Open, while sister Venus made her announcement through social media too.
'After careful consideration and following the advice of my doctors and medical team, I have decided to withdraw from the US Open to allow my body to heal completely from a torn hamstring,' she said.
'New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world and one of my favorite places to play—I’ll miss seeing the fans but will be cheering everyone on from afar,' she added.'Thank you for your continued support and love. I’ll see you soon,' Williams concluded.
Williams is considered by many to be the greatest female tennis player of all time with 23 Grand Slam singles titles. That tally is the most in the Open Era and the second most all time, just one behind Margaret Court's 24 titles. Serena Williams has revealed what she eats to stay in top condition and says that she treats food as a complement not as her life.
Speaking to Women's Health, the tennis GOAT said she "eats to live" and she will often skip breakfast "I often don't make breakfast because I just forget or I'm running around getting Olympia [her daughter] ready and then I go work out." "When I roll out of bed [in the morning], I'm just not hungry," she said.
SERENA WILLIAMS TEACHING TENNIS TO HER DAUGHTER 😍 SERENA WILLIAMS INVESTS IN HEALTH-CARE STARTUP
Female Founders Fund by Serena Williams invests in Health-care startup HUED, founded by entrepreneur Kimberly Wilson. 23 Slams winner American tennis star participated in this $ 1.6 million investment with Serena Williams' VC fund Serena Ventures, Black Founders Matter, Gingerbread Capital and angel investor and health-care leader Halle Tecco.
Wilson tells CNBC: "I started this company because of my core belief in the preciousness of Black lives and the desire to protect it. Building a startup as a Black woman in health care is hard, incredibly hard. And, I think that's why this round announcement is particularly special.think that the pandemic, while horrific and tragic, really amplified the disparities that exist within health care that can no longer be ignored.
Serena Williams invests in Health-care startup
Essentially, there are not many companies that focus specifically on health equity and addressing populations that were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and I think our solution was just very attractive to VCs.
Female Founders Fund has been committed to investing in women and minority founders from day one. That is their North Star. So, it already made sense to embark on that journey together. And for Serena, who has personally talked about the issues she has had as a Black woman navigating the health-care system, obviously there was a mutual sense of understanding.
" Anu Duggal, founding partner of Female Founders Fund, said: "We are thrilled to back Kimberly and her vision for HUED in making health care more equitable for millions of Black and Latinx patients. She has built exciting traction with a strong team and we believe the HUED model will have a massive impact on health-care outcomes in this country.
" With a cash prize pool of over $ 90 million, Serena Williams is the highest-earning tennis player in the history of tennis, and among the many economic diversifications the American has, she is also very socially active, for helping minorities and people in need.
