Grand Slam trophies are the highest accolades a professional tennis player can achieve in his/her career. Considering the importance of such trophies and the amount of effort it takes to win one, many would cherish it for the rest of their lives. However, that wasn’t the case with Rennae Stubbs, Serena Williams‘ ex-coach. Although it wasn’t meant as a disrespect for the trophy, she once used one of her Wimbledon trophies for a bizarre reason. Stubbs recently shared about the incident, which would certainly surprise many tennis enthusiasts.

Rennae Stubbs is a former player who has held the rank of 64 in singles and number 1 in doubles. She has worked with Eugenie Bouchard, Karolína Plíšková and Serena Williams shortly before the legend’s retirement. Currently, she is the host of Power Hour on Prime Video Sports Talk.

Serena Williams’ former coach shares an astounding story

In a recent edition of Power Hour, Rennae Stubbs shared a story that received an awkward laugh. Stubbs recalled an instance after winning the Wimbledon’s doubles, where her ex-boyfriend’s dog passed away and the two decided to cremate him. After he was cremated, she put the ashes in a bag and decided to keep the bag inside the trophy.

“I had an ex, whose dog passed away, and we cremated him. And I put him in my Wimbledon trophy, in the bag and he fit in there perfectly,” Stubbs reminisced about the incident.
