Serena Williams had her two biggest cheerleaders by her side at her U.S. Open match on Saturday.
While there were no fans in attendance at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York, Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, and 3-year-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., were in the stands cheering her on.
Williams, who rocked a red ensemble, defeated her fellow American tennis player Stephens 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. After her big win, Williams was asked what she hoped her daughter saw while watching her play. "I hope that she saw her momma fighting. I don't think she was playing attention, between you and me. She may have been playing with some princesses upstairs," she told the reporter.
