A lot of tennis fans have responded to this adorable picture of Olympia attempting to play tennis, and even suggested ways for kids to start practicing the sport.
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.
This may be sacrilege in your house, but try mixing this with pickleball. Pickle allowed our kids to start playing out real points much younger. Tennis courts are just so big for little bodies. They even play tennis with a punctured ball on a pickle court, serves and all.

The internet entrepreneur responded and said that he will try and make Olympia practice pickleball.
I've never played… I've seen other old people enjoy this 'pickle ball' you speak of, though, so I'm willing to give it a try.

Another user had responded with a cheeky comment as she asked whether Alexis cut his long hair.
Lol not me – I'm taking the photo

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.

Naomi Osaka, who defeated Serena several times over the past few years, also had a tough run on the red-dirt this year. Even though these injuries might benefit the American, the underlying threat of clay-court specialists like Aryna Sabalenka, Elina Svitolina, Kiki Bertens, etc is a worrisome factor for Serena Williams.
