Venus Williams throws in a tennis reference with a love song 

The seven-time Grand Slam champion is quite active on social media. And her love for tennis is clearly evident on her socials. She often shares about things that have a tennis connection and revolve around the sport. Recently, the former world number one took to her Instagram account to share a picture from her tennis practice sessions.

Along with the picture, she found the perfect song caption, making an athletic connection to a song called Stop in the Name of Love. She shared a picture of her getting ready to hit a tennis shot. In addition, she captioned the picture with, “Stop in the name of 6-Love.”

The former world number one did, however, know how to slip in a tennis allusion with a 1965 The Supremes song. Well, she herself slightly modified the caption and transformed a lovely song into a phrase that tennis enthusiasts might utilise in the future. Along with that, she also hinted at her comeback by sharing a picture from the tennis court.
