Tennis legend Serena Williams has sent fans into a meltdown after a playful yet seemingly jealous reaction to her sister Venus posing with a new doubles partner. The iconic sporting duo, who have secured 14 Grand Slam titles together, appear to have a new rival for each other's affections.
The drama unfolded on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). A user posted a photograph of Venus Williams smiling alongside American player Robin Montgomery, who recently won her first WTA title. The caption provocatively stated, "Venus Williams has found a new doubles partner."
Serena, 42, was quick to respond, leaving a comment that perfectly blended humour with a hint of genuine sibling envy. She simply wrote, "Well I see how it is. Smh."—an abbreviation for 'shaking my head'.
The internet immediately erupted. Fans of the Williams sisters were delighted by the exchange, flooding the post with laughing emojis and comments. Many interpreted Serena's response as a classic case of light-hearted jealousy, highlighting the incredibly close bond the two champions share.
Venus and Serena are widely regarded as one of the greatest doubles pairings in the history of the sport. Their powerful partnership has dominated courts for over two decades, making Serena's faux-outrage all the more relatable and amusing to their global fanbase.
While the comment was made in jest, it underscores the unique and enduring relationship between the two athletes that has captivated the world of tennis since they turned professional.
