Serena Williams’ younger daughter is already starting to follow in her mom’s footsteps.
On Monday, Nov. 4, the tennis pro, 43, shared a video on her Instagram of herself and her 14-month-old daughter Adira as they stood together on a tennis court. In the Reel, Adira picks up a tennis ball and looks up at her mom, who points to a basket filled with tennis balls and says, “Hey Adira, put it in here!”
Adira runs away from her mom, throwing the ball against a fence and walking over to a white bench. “She was just doing it, man,” Williams says in the video. “We turned on the camera, she don’t want to do it.”
“When’s too early? @adiraohanian,” Williams joked in her caption.

Williams shares daughters Adira and Olympia, 7, with husband Alexis Ohanian, 41.
In late October, the retired tennis pro shared a few sweet snaps to her Instagram with her two daughters as the got all dressed up to see Taylor Swift at her Eras Tour show in Miami.
In the cute family photos, Williams wore a black mini dress while holding her 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 daughter, who rocked jean shorts, a white long-sleeve shirt, a blue hair bow and a beaded choker necklace. Olympia went all out for the show, sporting a replica of Swift’s Lover bodysuit and silver rhinestoned cowboy boots.
“This is us . . . Getting ready for @taylorswift ✨,” the proud mom captioned the post.
In August, Williams reflected on the fact that it had been a year since she’d welcomed 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 Adira into her family. The proud mom of two posted a few throwback snaps on Instagram of herself with Olympia from her maternity shoot before welcoming Adira.
The mother-daughter duo could be seen smiling in a bed of flowers wearing matching pink flowy dresses. “Olympia is always there for me,” Williams said in her caption. “Before having a second child, I always wondered, ‘how could I love anything as much as I love
@olympiaohanian?’”
She continued, “Then Adira came along … she is so special, so fun, so funny, so loving, so sweet and so strong!!! You see, God makes your heart get bigger. Because my love for Olympia has not dimmed. My heart simply now is doubled the size and I have a greater capacity to love more!”
