Serena Williams is having a fantastic run at the current US Open where she has reached the semifinal before playing an in-form Elina Svitolina.
The American sensation has often talked about her happiness when playing tennis earlier in the day to have the chance of spending some time with her lovely daughter Olympia.
Why Olympia does not see Serena playing
At the Flushing Meadows, Serena was recently asked why her daughter didn’t see her matches with her husband at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The American legend replied that her daughter (she is only 2) “is a little bit loud and obnoxious right now. I’m not sure she should come to the matches.
I’m hoping next year she’ll be at an age where she can sit. Maybe I’ll start at the smaller tournaments and see how she does and go from there. Also, she’s still napping. It’s hard.”
Federer and his children
In the recent past, Roger Federer expressed a similar concept saying that his youngest twins (they are just 5) are allowed to see his matches only in the early rounds. However, as soon as Roger goes deep in the tournament, they are better not to watch his matches as they could feel the tension of the team and that is not healthy.
That’s the problems that pro-player have when they become parents.”
