The 3-year-old Olympia even applauded Dimitrov when he hit a powerful one-handed backhand winner against Garin. It is evident that the junior Williams has got an understanding of the sport by now and knows about the different shots.

Williams was there to support her long-time friend Dimitrov. The two often hit the net together and just love to pull the leg of each other off the court.
