Serena Williams Gives Her Version of ‘Instagram vs Reality’

Serena Williams has been out of the tour since June 2021, when she last featured at Wimbledon. However, she always keeps her fans engaged through her activity on social media platforms. 

She is often spotted posting content of herself, her daughter Olympia, and her husband Alexis. Today, the 23-time Grand Slam champion posted a story on her Instagram account, showing how different her Instagram world is, as compared to reality, in hilarious fashion.   

Instagram vs Reality by Serena Williams

The Instagram story was Serena’s display of how she appears on Instagram, and how she is in reality. In the video, she stood in front of a mirror, facing sideways. The player seemed to have a perfect body physique, calling it ‘Instagram.’ She was controlling her laughter as she said, “I can’t breathe.”

However, soon she left her breath out, and the camera focused on a small protruding belly, which she labelled “reality,” while laughing. In the video, she also said, “had a little too much soy and gluten this week.”  

Serena’s saga with the Wimbledon injury

Williams retired in the first round of Wimbledon 2021 against Aliaksandra Sasnovich, due to an injury. While the 7-time Wimbledon champion started off the match on an aggressive note, she couldn’t complete the first set as she slipped on the grass, injuring herself. 

The injury not only forced Serena to withdraw from Wimbledon, but also forced her to withdraw from the remaining season.

Fans around the globe anticipated William’s return at this year’s Australian Open. However, on December 8 last year, she announced her withdrawal from Australian Open 2022. She said, “Following the advice of my medical team, I have decided to withdraw from this year’s Australian Open. While this is never an easy decision to make, I am not where I need to be physically to compete.”

Even though fans were disappointed by her announcement, the player, in early January, gave them a reason to rejoice. She posted an Instagram story which showed her finally being back on the court. Hopefully, we’ll see her on the Tour again soon.
