“Spirit of Legacy: Olympia Pays Touching Tribute to Serena Williams at Farewell US Open
As Serena Williams bid farewell to her illustrious tennis career this month, all eyes were on her daughter Olympia during the US Open. The four-year-old, standing proudly with her father Alexis Ohanian, showed unwavering support for her mother, cheering and capturing moments on a disposable pink camera.
What truly captured fans’ attention was Olympia’s hairstyle—a nostalgic homage. With her short locks adorned in braids with white beads, she sported the exact same style Serena wore 23 years ago when she won her first Grand Slam title at the US Open. A touching nod to the enduring legacy of the Williams family on the tennis court.”
