Yahoo Sports Serena Williams' daughter Alexis pays tribute to mom by wearing same tennis outfit
Serena Williams' daughter, Alexis Ohanian Jr., takes after her mother. Alexis paid homage to her mom Wednesday, wearing the same tennis outfit Williams wore at the Australian Open in February.
Alexis wore the outfit at tennis practice Wednesday.
The images were posted on Alexis' Instagram page by her father, Alexis Ohanian. While the pictures are great, Williams wanted to be present for a side-by-side. Williams commented, "Awwwww mannnnnn I asked you to save this post until I was next to her side by side in my same outfit," according to TMZ.
Alexis' tribute was more alike an homage to an homage. When Williams wore the outfit in February, she explained it was a tribute to Florence Griffith Joyner.
"This year we thought of what can we do to keep elevating the Serena Williams on the court."
