23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams recently pulled out of the Miami Open 2021. The American legend underwent an oral surgery lately and will not be able to recover in time for the tournament. She hasn’t played a match since the Australian Open 2021 and fans will hope to see her back on the court soon.

Serena Williams and Venus Williams are both inspirations for many tennis players. The two have set numerous new standards in the sport, and it is no surprise that one can see their Funko dolls in the market as well. Recently, Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian admitted on Twitter that he also has a Funko doll of Venus Williams in his office.

“I have this one in my office too!” tweeted Alexis.
