Serena Williams’ tennis lessons with her daughter Olympia are one of the most delightful things on Instagram—but Williams didn’t always want her daughter to pursue her sport, she shared in a recent appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

As Entertainment Tonight reports, Williams revealed that her daughter’s already demonstrating her mom’s skill with a racket, while explaining why she didn’t plan to introduce Olympia to the “all-consuming” sport. “She’s a perfectionist on the court. I’m not quite sure where she got that from, but yeah, she loves it,” Williams said of her 3-year-old daughter, who she shares with husband Alexis Ohanian.

“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.” “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 added.

“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.’ And I’d be rooting for her and supporting her, but it wouldn’t be the first thing that I would do.”

Serena is back to training on the court after the tears of the Australian Open, shed in the press conference after the semifinal defeat, during which she said: “I’m done,” sparking many rumors about her eventual withdrawal. But she also added: “If I ever had to say goodbye, I wouldn’t say it to anyone.” Many wondered if this could even be the American star’s last tournament, and not just her last Australian Open.

“Just a casual hit,” she said on Instagram. Dimitrov, on his own Instagram, shared a video and he wrote: “My practice partner is better than yours.” Venus Williams added: “Omg are you guys hitting now? Where is my invite?” In short, Serena still seems ready to go down again on the court, ready to amaze herself, her fans and her opponents, once again in search of that 24th Grand Slam title that she is looking for with great ardor.

Discussing her retirement from the Gippsland Trophy instead, the eldest of the Williams sisters said: “I believe that at my age and at this point in my career I just have to keep playing according to my physical condition, I don’t have to put myself in a bad situation to my health.”
