Recently, before the Wimbledon Championships 2021, Serena Williams gave an amazing speech at the annual convocation ceremony of the students of the Mouratoglou Academy. There, in one of the lines, she said, “Everything I do, I do wholeheartedly, even if it’s smashing a racquet.”

What she wanted to imply here was that every student must follow his passion wholeheartedly. However, her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, decided to have some fun with her and made an Instagram reel to troll her. In that fans can see Serena’s aggression on the court as she is smashing racquets really hard.

“Whatever you do, do it 100%… even smashing your racquet,” wrote Mouratoglou in the caption to tease Serena.

Even Serena Williams laughed after saying these lines during her speech at the Mouratoglou Academy. However, nobody thought that Patrick would edit it, convert it into a reel, and make it this hilarious.
