As you can see, Olympia is practicing her forehand with her mom cheering from the side and probably giving some tips. Her forehand seems to be very solid, which is not surprising given her DNA and the fact that Serena has just signed her up for tennis lessons. She announced it recently and said,

Guys, I signed Olympia up for tennis lessons. Don’t even start with me, because I’m not giving her tennis lessons. I signed her up for some. But the lady has no idea that it’s my daughter. So, we’ll see how that goes.”
