Speaking to People about teaching her daughter tennis, Serena has said, "Honestly, we started because it's a socially safe sport, and when COVID happened, it was like, we're just in the house with a three-year-old, what do we do? There was only one answer, to my dismay."

Serena has also talked about how much Olympia likes playing piano, telling Jimmy Kimmel last fall: "She likes tennis, but I don't know. Honestly, she likes playing piano. When she was in my belly, I played a lot of piano music."

"And she's teaching me! Like, I'm not even kidding," she laughed. "I have a baby Mozart, [but] of course every parent thinks they have like, a baby Beethoven or whatever."
