Serena Williams’ husband is trying to be a father like King Richard!

The tennis legend’s husband recently shared a post regarding how he answers his daughter’s curious questions at the dining table before the day ends. Along with that, he also shared that even if he is not able to answer that question, he will definitely find a way to find the answer with his five-year-old.

Moreover, seeing that amazing picture, a fan commented on the post, stating that Ohanian is just like any other Armenian father, who values the intelligence of his daughters and devotes their lives to it.

It isn’t a surprise that Ohanian is trying to emulate Richard Williams. After all, the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s father has set the standards for being a supportive father. King Richard, even after flying out of Compton, never forgot his roots and stuck to his values of being an African-American father, trying to teach his daughters a white-dominant sport like tennis.
