Serena Williams’ daughter Olympia, 4, pays sweet tribute to mother with braids at US Open
Serena Williams’ daughter is no exception. The tennis superstar stepped out on Monday for her final US Open in New York, after she announced that she is going to retire from tennis earlier this month. As celebrities turned out in full force to see what could be one of the legendary player’s last games, all eyes were on Serena’s daughters’ sweet tribute to her mother. Olympia, four, watched on with the crowd with her father Alexis Ohanian as her mother went on to face Montenegro player Danka Kovinic, and she cheered and snapped photos on a disposable pink camera from the stands. However, it was her hairstyle that caught fans’ attention, as Olympia wore her short locks in braids with white beads on the end. Serena wore the exact same hairstyle in her first US Open, 23 years ago when won her first grand slam title. It is one of the most iconic matches in Serena’s career as it was the defining moment that propelled her status as a professional tennis player to a whole new level. At 17 years old, Serena won the final match against Martina Hingis in 1999 and wore her hair in braids with white beads.This was recently recreated in the Oscar-winning biopic about the Williams sisters’ lives, King Richard. Alongside, Serena’s supportive family, A-List celebrities flocked to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York to see the match. Hugh Jackman looked more loved-up than ever with his wife of 26 years, Deborra-Lee Furness.
