However, at that time, Williams wanted to invest in tennis and help that sport grow. But Ohanian was firm on his call, and Williams explained, “I think he [Ohanian] kind of did that deal [Angel City FC purchase]to make me mad. Because I’m like, let’s do something in tennis because obviously, let’s amplify tennis.”
