Serena Williams is a fierce competitor on the tennis court. While playing the sport, she leaves no stones unturned to come out on top. Her never-say-die attitude has been one of the highlights of her illustrious career. Moreover, it has resulted in her winning 23 Grand Slam singles titles, the most in the Open Era.

However, in stark contrast, Serena is soft as anyone off the court. She is friends with a number of fellow players such as Caroline Wozniacki. Additionally, she also has close friends outside the tennis world. Recently, she received an amazing surprise from her friend and fashion icon, Gigi Hadid.

Gigi and Serena’s friendship

The two superstars are close friends for quite some time now. During the 2017 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, Serena heaped praise on her friend, saying, “Gigi, you are one of the few people on this planet I would leave my baby for—for one night—but for you it shows how much you mean to me. And I want you to imagine the affect you have on the world.” 

Further, Serena added, “She understands that in order to be the best, you have to think like you are the best, work the hardest, and make sacrifices… Gigi pushes boundaries. In fact, she makes new boundaries. And she’s authentically herself.”
