Then later on the same photo, Serena commented as well. Her excitement was clearly visible with her first comment: “This is AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.” But then Serena exercised her humor bone and again commented: “Can I get in on this, I’m only working with one leg though…” Serena had earlier exited Wimbledon after injuring her right knee in her first-round match.
Venus also commented on the post: “thanks for carrying me.” And Kyrgios returned the favor,” Haha, don’t be silly!!!” This isn’t the first time, Kyrgios and Venus have had a candid conversation. Since they were announced as a team, they have been lighting up social media with these moments.

Venus and Kyrgios both had angry outbursts in their mixed doubles match. However, they had many moments where they shared a laugh as well. On the scoreboard, they had taken the first set but were pegged back in the second. However, they complimented each other and picked up the win.
“When a point is done, she completely moves on. She doesn’t dwell on anything that’s happened in the past. I guess that’s what’s helped her have so much success. That’s why she’s such a great champion.” Kyrgios said.
It is brilliant to see the Williams sisters and Kyrgios associated in some way. The sisters are legends and Kyrgios himself is a great entertainer, so it has certainly made Wimbledon’s return even more memorable.
