Serena Williams holds the position of a role model in many tennis fans’ life. In fact, some who don’t even follow the sport find her inspirational and follow her foot septs. Though the satisfaction of having her own daughter value her opinion is beyond comparison.

The 23 times Grand Slam champion has always had a status that qualifies as influential. She has the potential to make crowds of people blindly believe in the things she professes. However, what filled her heart with pride is Olympia’s trust in her words. The fact that she has accomplished a dynamics with her daughter in which her say matters is an achievement for her.

Serena Williams about Olympia’s behaviour towards her

Williams in a recent interview shared how important the mother-daughter bond and its elements are. She said, “I can see when I’m looking at Olympia. I’m like, God, the innocence, the asking like, she’ll be like, Mom, can I have this? And I’m thinking, why are you asking me? Then I’m like, Oh, yeah. And she gets so extra.”

“Like mom said, Yes, I can wear this shoe. And I’m like, it’s such a small thing that I’m so removed from. That is like, that meant the world for me to say yes to her. You know what I mean? And so it’s just like gosh, she really values my opinion,” the former World no.1 added.
