The former World no.1 recently did a question-and-answer session on Instagram and stumbled upon the question of who is better at tennis, Eddie or Qai Qai. To which she responded by saying, “We all know Qai Qai is way better at not only tennis but everything else than Damarri.

Thereafter, she added, “Qai Qai is amazing, and Damarri is, you know, below average.” Qai Qai is a doll whose popularity peaked after she was spotted in one of Williams’ stories beside Olympia. The doll since then has gained its own YouTube series, social media handles and recently a book penned by Serena, telling the tales of the doll’s adventure.
