However, away from Japan, a dearly missed star continues to entertain her fans, alongside her favorite shenanigans’ partner. Serena Williams and her daughter Olympia have been at the heart of the action, becoming social media’s new favorite team.

Earlier this year, American legend Serena Williams announced she would not take part in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Her reasons were clear; she wanted to spend time back home with her daughter. Doing exactly that, the mother-daughter duo has been winning hearts all over social media. With matching outfits and Disney-themed dinner parties, they are Instagram’s new favorite team. However, it is not long until the duo shifts from their virtual team, to on-court pairing up, as Olympia joins her mother to play tennis.
