Serena Williams is a great fighter on the tennis court. Over the years, she has displayed great dedication to the sport which has seen her become one of the best players in the sport’s history. Further, overcoming all odds, she has dominated her opponents on the tennis court.

Take the example of the Australian Open in 2017. Before the tournament, Serena Williams found out that she will soon give birth to her first child. However, that didn’t stop the American legend from participating in the tournament. Not only did she play in that tournament but also defeated her elder sister, Venus Williams in the final to win the title. Recently, her husband, Alexis Ohanian, reminisced about his fighting spirit during his childhood days.

Further, he went on to add, “In five years, you will actually value your time properly.
