Serena Williams’ hot girl bummer dance
During the Australian Open, a video of Serena and her mates went viral on Instagram. It was also played on the big screen at the Rod Laver Arena. The dance routine performed by the American on Blackbear’s Hot Girl Bummer was one of the training regimes at Patrick Mouratoglou’s academy.
Speaking about her dance performance, she said (at the Australian Open), “I always dance. I’m not the best dancer, but I love to dance. It’s nice and fun to do. It’s different and better than just going to the gym every day. At some point, you do have to go to the gym. I just try to do different things.”

“I‘m the ultimate veteran” – Serena Williams
Williams was asked about being a ‘veteran’ in the sport and having carried the flag of American tennis for more than 24 years on the WTA circuit.
“Obviously with the ‘veterans’ it’s kind of hard because it’s, like, wait, I’m the ultimate veteran. I feel like they’re the young ones as well (laughter). It’s always great. The whole team is really, really fantastic. It’s fun,” she added.
