He made his gym and training ground at home

The great American champion stated that since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, she has taken serious precautions. In this regard, Serena revealed that she created a training base at home, with the help of her husband, Alexis Ohanian.

“We built a tennis court and a gym. It’s so cool! The gym is not exactly ready, but the time spent on the tennis court is so much fun. I go there, it’s my own sanctuary. I always wonder why I haven’t done this in 20 years. A few players came to train there. I told them it was the same surface as at the US Open and I invited them to play together. I tried to get people to come to us. Tennis is a sport where you keep your physical distance naturally, so it was very easy to get back on the field and step into my square of the field “, said Serena Williams.
