The videos received plenty of love on social media, with many people saying that the young athlete is poised for stardom. Others also applauded the teacher’s skills. 

“’You know what grandpa taught me’ hit different,” one Instagram user said.  

According to Marie Claire, the 39-year-old athlete introduced the sport to her daughter during the pandemic last year. 

“She’s a perfectionist on the court. I’m not quite sure where she got that from, but yeah, she loves it,” the star told comedian Stephen Colbert in January. “I never thought I would let my daughter play tennis, but then during this pandemic, it was the only thing that we could do safely so I’m like, well, tennis it is.”

Williams plans to keep teaching despite the amount of work it takes to help her daughter master the game.

“It’s all consuming. It’s stressful. It’s a lot of work. It’s a huge commitment, and it might be a little dab of pressure on her,” Williams said.

But Olympia is free to choose her own path.

“I wouldn’t naturally put her in it, but if that was something that she wanted to do, I would absolutely be like, ‘Oh my gosh, you should totally do that,'” the 23-time Grand Slam winner said. “And I’d be rooting for her and supporting her, but it wouldn’t be the first thing that I would do.”

Williams and her sister Venus learned the game from their father when they were barely walking.  The siblings trained at at a tennis court in Compton, California, Sportscasting reported. Local residents said the sisters were holding tennis rackets in their strollers while their parents played on the court in the early 1980s. 

As they grew older, the tennis stars woke up as early as 6 a.m. to train and played after school, Biography reported.
