Picture perfect

Serena Williams and daughter Olympia

American tennis star Serena Williams wants her daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr to watch the film, King Richard, a biographical drama which tracks the rise of herself and sister Venus - and their dad Richard.

Serena welcomed Olympia with husband Alexis Ohanian in 2017. "She [Alexis Olympia] gets to see what Mommy was like. I always wondered how I would explain my life. Like, how will I even start that conversation? This is the perfect way," Serena told Entertainment Weekly.

The former World No. 1 still considers sister Venus, 41, to be her hero. "I feel like the film actually tells her story, in a way that no one can ever really tell what she went through in being the first black player to really step out there. There would be no Serena if there wasn't a Venus. She was my hero and she still is my hero. She'll do something and I'm like, ‘I'm doing that too.' She's still my hero, she really was able to open the way for me and go through doors," she remarked.
