However, soon after she posted the video on social media, Serena stole the gift-box. She even struck off Venus’ name on the thank you letter and wrote her own name.

Moreover, she posted a video of her opening the box and showing the letter to her followers while teasing her sister. “Looks like I got a special gift,” Serena said. “All this is nice. Thank you Asutra (even if you spelled the name wrong),” she added.
