When you have the opportunity to chat with Serena Williams, you don’t pass up on it. Just ask Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The Greek No. 11 in the PIF ATP Rankings couldn’t resist making a surprise appearance on Williams’ Instagram Live on Monday, when the two shared a heartfelt exchange. Tsitsipas asked the 23-time Grand Slam titlist: "If you had to pick one, what would be your favourite moment from your entire career?"
“I think winning Australia pregnant,” responded Williams. “I was nine weeks pregnant when it was done! I was almost done with the first trimester…”
Williams, one of the most iconic figures in the sport of tennis, is no stranger to Tsitsipas. Over the course of the American’s 10-year collaboration with coach Patrick Mouratoglou, during which she won 10 majors and an Olympic gold medal, Tsitsipas established himself as a regular at Mouratoglou's academy.
They would occasionally practise together with coach Mouratoglou and even battled it out in a Hopman Cup match in 2018.
“You aced me! I will never forget that,” Tsitsipas said.
