World Number nine Serena Williams is spending quality time at home with her family and she seems to enjoy the unpredicted layover on the tennis tour. People all over the world are home-quarantined and avoid traveling. And as a part of her quarantine routine, Serena discovered the whereabouts of her place.
In her neighborhood, she encountered a ‘scary experience’ as she saw an alligator in the lake. “Could be a rock formation but. I don’t know. I’m far away too because they’re fast and right now I’m not running my fastest. So keep a safe distance. He’s social distancing, I know that’s right,” Serena Williams said on seeing the alligator.
“He’s looking at me. I better go. Oh Lord, have mercy! Look at that! That’s a gator, I tell you. He’s looking right at me. I’m scared, I’m out of here!”
Serena Williams’ quarantine activities
A few days ago Serena Williams suggested a hilarious work-from-home hack. She was tired of the long video calls and simultaneously her daughter started crying. Hence she kept a cardboard piece of hers that replaces her.

“I had a really long day, a ton of calls, mostly virtual calls where I had to be on either Google Hangouts or Zoom or whatever everyone is using. And I just got tired so I had a really brilliant idea,” she said.
Her quarantine activities have been mostly based indoors which involves her daughter Alexis Olympia. Recently she was playing an amusing game with her daughter, that entertained both of them.
On the WTA courts this year, World Number nine Williams began with a title victory in Auckland. At the Australian Open 2020, she lost to Wang Qiang from China in the third round. Later, she supported Team USA to earn a spot in the Fed Cup Finals in Budapest, Hungary.
WATCH – When Serena Williams Slammed Aces Against Novak Djokovic
The Hopman Cup tournament of tennis hosted mixed-doubles tennis where the tennis professionals represented their respective nations. The GOAT tennis players Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic were swinging their racquets in Perth, Australia at Hopman Cup 2008.
It was the first time ever Novak and Serena were playing against each other on professional courts. That year, Serena Williams teamed up with compatriot Mardy Fish, and Djokovic partnered former World Number one Jelena Jankovic. And Serbia and the USA reached the finals of the event.
Serena Williams aced Novak Djokovic
Serena’s serve is one of the strongest weapons in the women’s game, also tennis professionals have difficulties in facing her serve as they fail to read it. The Serbian professional also experienced the same at Hopman Cup 2008.
Williams slammed two aces against Djokovic and both of them were produced in the same game. The Team USA was serving at 6-5*(15-15) and Serena’s serve left Novak dumbstruck. The second one came right after another point 6-5*(40-15), with Serena’s hefty serve on the T-point, Novak couldn’t do anything. In other words, Williams produced two consecutive aces against Djokovic.
Later, Team USA defeated Team Serbia 7-6, 6-2 in the finals of Hopman Cup 2008. During the event in Perth, Novak was a Slam-less tennis player, but a few weeks later, he made his major breakthrough in Melbourne.
Novak Djokovic broke the Grand Slam-winning rhythm of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. At Aussie Open, he became the first player besides Federer and Nadal to win a major title since 2005 French Open. That year, he defeated Federer in the semi-finals of Australian Open 2008 and also snapped his 10-consecutive Grand Slam final reaching streak.
That year at the Australian Open 2008, Serena Williams couldn’t defend her title. She was defeated by Serbia’s Jelena Jankovic in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
