The Rams controlled proceedings from the beginning, and although the Bengals made a spirited comeback in the latter parts of the game, but to no avail.

Serena Williams enjoys the Super Bowl LVI half-time show

The American tennis sensation enjoyed the mega-event with her family as well. It was evident from the stories posted on her official Instagram handle that the former World No. 1 had a great evening yesterday. She danced with her daughter Olympia to the songs. Meanwhile, her husband, Alexis Ohanian, was spotted having a drink.

While Olympia was dancing, Serena hilariously said, “No more drama for her and her life, no more drama!” Further, Serena said to her husband, “Are you hyped now, huh? You’re hyped now, huh. You guys are hyped now. Oh boy, calm down, calm down.”

On the tennis front, Serena has been suffering from injuries lately, which has kept her out of action. She last played at The Wimbledon Championships in June last year. She had to retire in the first round there, after slipping on the wet grass and injuring her hamstring.
