23 Grand Slam champion Serena Williams is known for her unparalleled tennis skills and lighthearted sense of humour. Her recent social media comment on Kim Kardashian’s Instagram post is a testament to her playful nature.
After Kim Kardashian displayed her photos from a tennis-themed shoot, Serena couldn’t resist gently ribbing her friend over her tennis stance.
Kim Kardashian lit up Instagram with photos of herself striking poses on a tennis court, dressed in a vibrant pink Chanel bikini paired with a matching bag and robe. Although the fashion quotient was high, the tennis aspect left something to be desired.
In one photo, Kim’s handling of the tennis racquet looked unorthodox, while another pose puzzled fans about its intention.
Jumping onto the friendly jibe wagon, Serena quipped about Kim’s unfamiliarity with the racquet’s grip. Her playful comment read, “Literally not how you hold a racquet. I have to give you lessons, lol.” Fans delighted in the jest, some playfully questioning Kim’s tennis acumen.
Decades of Friendship: Serena and Kim
The camaraderie between Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian is longstanding, with roots going back over twenty years.
Their paths first intertwined pre-reality TV days when Kim took on roles organizing celebrity wardrobes.
Since then, their bond has flourished, evident from Kim’s presence at Serena’s wedding and her heartfelt accolades for Serena during significant career moments, such as dubbing her the “GOAT” during the 2022 US Open.
Despite not responding directly to Serena’s light-hearted dig, Kim is known for her humorous posts, and their mutual admiration is evident. Notably, this isn’t Kim’s inaugural tennis-meets-bikini shoot. A June 2021 post saw her in a tan bikini, racquet in hand, teasingly asking, “Tennis anyone?”
