One of the comments advised Ohanian to encourage Olympia to play Pickleball. Pickleball is a lot similar to tennis, and it mixes rules from Badminton and Table Tennis as well. In this sport, players will be given paddles instead of racquets.

Serena Williams’ quest to win her 24th grand slam title continues at the French Open

On the other hand, Serena Williams has been trying to win her 24th grand slam title since 2017. In her search for the crown, the American was stopped by youngsters like Naomi Osaka, Bianca Andreescu, etc.

Serena also lost to the Romanian world number three Simona Halep in the finals of Wimbledon 2019. Ahead of the French Open this year, the American played two tournaments and lost in the initial rounds in both of them.

However, Serena might turn the tables in Roland Garros with few players struggling with injuries before the tournament. While Halep announced her withdrawal from the tournament earlier today, the 2019 French Open champion Ash Barty also appeared to be struggling with a right shoulder injury.
