The 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams has one of the most entertaining Instagram feeds among tennis players. Yesterday, Williams uploaded a video of her playing a grand piano, having beautiful white exteriors, and funnily depicted the contrast between her Instagram self vs. Real self.

The video starts with the ‘Instagram’ version of Williams, who’s dressed in an all-white outfit, playing the Beethoven melody on the piano. However, just when the fans think there’s nothing Williams can’t do perfectly, the video transitions to her piano skills in reality.

Interestingly, a few weeks back, Williams uploaded an adorable video on Instagram, which showed her 4-year-old daughter, Olympia, giving her a lesson on how to play the piano.

The American tennis star frequently posts pictures with her endearing daughter. Whether it’s posing for a photoshoot, baking a chocolate cake, to taking tennis lessons from Williams, Olympia always accompanies her mother.

Meanwhile, injuries have marred the 2021 season for the 39-year-old. Last month, Williams withdrew from the US Open because of a torn hamstring, a tournament she has won six times.

At the Wimbledon Championships, Williams suffered a leg injury in her opening round match which led to her leaving the court in tears. Subsequently, she skipped the Tokyo Olympics and Cincinnati Masters to recover from the injury.

Over the last four years, Williams has been trying to win an elusive 24th Grand Slam title to equal Margaret Court’s record. However, despite reaching four Grand Slam finals during the same period, Williams has suffered a defeat on each occasion.
