Published 08/03/2021, 10:09 AM EDT

American star Serena Williams is one of the greatest sporting personalities. Her contribution to this elegant sport has been immense. At one point, she was the most successful sportsperson both on and off the courts. She is the proud winner of 23 Grand Slam titles.

Recently, an old article of Serena Williams surfaced. Interestingly, it was a conversation exchange between the American veteran and five-time Olympic medalist, Simone Biles. We got to see a humble side of the gymnast when she decided to give Serena’s daughter Olympia a lesson in gymnastics upon her request.

In the online posts, Williams stated, “Can’t wait for [Olympia Ohanian] to get tips from [Simone Biles].” To which, Biles replied, “Oh my goodness, I’ll give her a lesson any day! She’s beyond precious. Get it, girlfriend!” The exchange did not end there as Alexis Ohanian replied, “I’m taking you up on this, champ!”

Reflecting on Williams’ season so far, she began competing at the Australian Open but lost in the semifinal to eventual champion Naomi Osaka. After that, she took a brief break from the Tour and made a comeback at the WTA Rome event on clay.

However, her performances on clay were below her usual standards in the handful of tournaments she took part in. Later, at the Wimbledon Championships, she suffered an unfortunate setback as she sprained her ankle and was forced to withdraw herself from the opening round match.

“Simone Biles, 24, has been compared to Serena Williams, Tom Brady, and Tiger Woods,” a @nytimes gymnastics reporter writes. “But the analogy minimizes her athletic brilliance because those competitors lose from time to time — and she doesn’t.” pic.twitter.com/f9AIN4hAEh
