Tennis icon Serena Williams recently took to Instagram to share a comical mishap at the gym involving mirror selfies. The 23-time Grand Slam champion confessed that she spends a significant amount of time in the gym striving to achieve the perfect selfie angle.
In her Instagram post, Williams candidly revealed, “I spend 50% of my time in the gym taking selfies. Trying to get that perfect angle, that angle that makes me look snatched.” She also playfully mentioned looking “a tad thicker” in person, acknowledging the challenges of capturing the right angle for photos.
Williams’ social media followers inundated the comments section with words of support and admiration, with many expressing their awe of her appearance and their desire to emulate her as they mature.
The tennis legend, who welcomed her second child with husband Alexis Ohanian earlier this year, has been open about her decision to step back from tennis to focus on her family. In an essay for Vogue, she highlighted the dilemma of having to choose between her career and expanding her family, stating, “Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family.”
Williams, who married Ohanian in November 2017, announced her retirement from the sport almost a year after her last match before transitioning into retirement. She also revealed her second pregnancy at the Met Gala last May, further solidifying her commitment to prioritising her family.
