Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam victor, is celebrated not just for her tennis excellence but also for her delightful sense of humor.
Recently, she took to social media to playfully tease her friend, Kim Kardashian, after the reality star posted a series of photos of herself on a tennis court.
Williams couldn’t help but offer her expertise, even proposing tennis lessons for Kim.

Kim’s Chanel bikini shoot
The playful banter began when Kim Kardashian shared a set of Instagram photos, showcasing herself in a Barbie pink Chanel bikini, matching handbag, and robe, all set against a tennis court backdrop.
While the photos exuded glamour, it became apparent that Kardashian’s tennis skills were not quite up to par with her fashion game.
In one snapshot, she held her tennis racquet awkwardly to the side, and in another, she attempted an overhead shot that left fans bewildered about her intended pose.
Known for her witty personality, Serena Williams chimed in on the post, roasting Kardashian’s racquet-holding technique. She commented, “Literally not how you hold a racquet. Clearly I have to give you lessons lol .” Fans joined the playful banter, with some questioning whether Kardashian even knows how to play tennis.

Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian’s bond
The bond between Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian runs deep, it even spans for over two decades.
The pair first crossed paths when Kim wasn’t yet involved in television when Kardashian worked as a closet organizer for celebrities.
Their friendship has endured ever since their first meeting, with Kardashian attending Williams’ wedding to Alexis Ohanian in 2017 and gushing about their connection in interviews.
Kardashian, no stranger to playful social media posts, didn’t respond directly to Williams’ comment, but the two have a history of supporting each other.
When Serena Williams retired in the 2022 US Open, Kardashian publicly praised her as the “GOAT” on her Instagram stories.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Kim Kardashian has combined tennis and bikini photoshoots for Instagram. In June 2021, she shared a similar series of snaps, featuring herself in a revealing tan-colored swimsuit, poised to serve on a tennis court, captioned with, “Tennis anyone?!” followed by a racquet emoji.
