Known for his boisterous on-court antics, Shaquille O’Neal once faced insults from Serena Williams. Talking about domination in sports, in terms of physical strength and achievements, Shaq and Serena Williams will be definitely on that list. And what a spectacle for the world to behold when two premier athletes meet and play.

Shaq was spotted on the court in 2009. But this time it was a tennis court, and on the opposite end was 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams. It’s not every day that you see 7-foot-1 Shaq in tennis attire wielding a racket.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers legend said, “I just hit over that twice.” Williams, clearly not impressed with Shaq’s response, had a short nonchalant response, “Anyone can do that.”
