Alexis Ohanian – white man, tech millionaire, has never seen a tennis match in his life. Serena Williams – a black woman, one of the 10 greatest tennis players in history, does not care at all about social networks.

Two people seemed to come out of two completely different worlds. They thought they could only be strangers passing through each other’s lives, but love is inherently a strange thing.

One thing that many people often think about is where will they meet the person they want to be with forever? The on-screen cuts often depict chance encounters, from two people alone on a trip to bumping into each other on the street. Or just change one habit to immediately meet someone you love like the way Serena and Alexis did.

In 2015, Serena went to Rome to attend the Italian Open. She is not someone who usually eats breakfast, but that day, Serena suddenly agreed to dine at the Cavalieri Hotel with her colleagues and manager. Buffett finished 5 minutes before Serena’s group arrived, so they could just sit in the pool area, and order.

At the same time, Alexis Ohanian – founder of the social network Reddit also stayed at this hotel. He came to Italy to attend the Global Media Conference. The tech millionaire’s concern at that time was to find a place to drink coffee, wear headphones and concentrate on work. He happened to sit next to Serena’s table.

This makes Serena’s group quite uncomfortable.

“Hmm, so many empty tables, why did he come here?” , Serena thought to herself.

And a member of Serana’s group decided to play a prank: “Hey man, there’s a mouse under the table. Don’t sit there!”

Contrary to expectations, Alexis was quite calm and asked back: “Are there really rats here?”

At this point, Serana honestly said: “No, we want to chase you away so that’s all. We plan to use the table.”

“I’m from Brooklyn so I see rats all the time.”

“Oh so you’re not afraid of mice?”

“Are not!”

As a courtesy, Serena invited Alexis to sit with her. At that time, both knew absolutely nothing about the other. And perhaps, neither Serena nor Alexis expected that their first conversation about a mouse would be the beginning of their later love affair.

Different things

Serena and Alexis didn’t fall in love at first sight, that’s natural.

When chatting with the famous girl in the world of sports, Alexis simply thought: “She is beautiful and charming.”

The five-year relationship that just ended makes him not ready to love someone. One more thing, Alexis is a passionate fan of football and basketball.

Even though sitting in front of him was the “Queen of Tennis,” his sympathy in his heart did not increase much. Alexis admitted that she had never watched a tennis match in real life, even a quick glance on TV, even Even so, he somewhat did not appreciate this sport.

And Serena thought that Alexis was paying attention to Jessicaca – another player in the group. And the whole time we sat together, Serena only pretended to say a few words about the Reddit page he founded.

Serena’s list of boyfriends is also full of famous names, from rappers Common and Drake to legendary coach Patrick Mouratoglou. A handsome, scholarly guy who is a technology nerd doesn’t seem to fit her love dictionary.|

Most of Serena’s matches always have Alexis present.

The next time they met was a month later in Paris, Serena invited Alexis to watch her match in the French Open as a friend.

The unplanned thing was that the two wandered together for 6 hours. And when passing by a candy stall at the Jardin des Plantes botanical garden, seeing Serena looking excited, Alexis bought some for her.

Alexis’s kindness, Serena’s wit and the romantic scenery of the French capital make love silently sprout.

“This is the girl I want to marry”

The following dates, very quickly, Alexis knew that Serena was the girl he wanted to marry. For Alexis, Serena helps him become the best version of himself.

He used to think he was having a hard time, working 18 hours a day and often falling asleep on his laptop. Until he saw Serena practicing before each match. “She works harder than anyone in Silicon Valley,” Alexis said.

According to Vanity Fair, Serena was worried about making too many bad shots during practice sessions, so she decided to spend 3 hours practicing 2,500 more shots, and each time she missed a shot, she would do it again!

“Serena’s spirit of desire to win and strong will are the inspiration that makes me try harder in life to achieve success. And I realized that just when I was next to Serena, seeing her standards and way of life, I suddenly wanted to become an even better person.” This is how Serena completely conquered the millionaire’s heart. One year younger than me.

On December 10, 2016, Alexis decided to propose to Serena at the first place he met her: the Cavalieri Hotel. Alexis had been hatching this plan for several months to surprise the woman he loved.

Alexis’s hobby is to always observe his woman wherever she is.

According to the schedule, Serena will participate in an exhibition in India, so the manager suggested that Serena stop on the way home, and spend a night in Cavalieri. But unfortunately, the exhibition was suddenly canceled, there was no reason for Serena to come to Italy. Plus, she started training for the Australian Open, making it difficult to pretend to suggest a vacation.

How does Serena fly to Rome without suspicion?

Italy and the ending of a love story

Compared to the image of technological men who are dry and rarely show affection, Alexis is a completely different version. Or maybe, love makes him always want to do everything just to make his woman happy, like diligently preparing a once-in-a-lifetime proposal.

To surprise Serena, Alexis asked for help from her team members.

Serena’s assistant secretly packs her luggage and another person invents an important meeting to trick her into going to the airport. On the flight to Italy, Serena vaguely guessed the reason behind it.

But what she didn’t expect was that the man not only knelt on one knee, holding out a diamond ring like a classic scene in a movie, but also covered the entire swimming pool area. It was even decorated with flowers and a small plastic mouse was placed on the table, recalling the memory of the first day we met.

Faced with that sincerity, who can refuse?

Even though she is engaged, the wedding is still very far from the plans because Serena is still busy with her competition schedule.

But just a few months later, before participating in a match in Australia, the “tennis queen” felt slight changes in her body. She decided to use a pregnancy test but forgot about it until her assistant saw the results. Right after that, the first thing Serena did was go buy five more pregnancy tests.

Having a child was something that was beyond both of their expectations.

And when Alexis received a call from Serana, saying he needed to get to Melbourne earlier than planned. Although he didn’t know the reason, Alexis immediately took the earliest flight, the only thing he thought was that something was wrong related to Serena’s health. When they met, Serena didn’t say a word, just quietly gave Alexis a bag containing six pregnancy tests with all positive results.

This was truly shocking for both of them. Because Serena has no intention of giving up her flourishing tennis career. And Alexis is still not mentally prepared for becoming a father.

Change for each other

As for the reason for the breakup, many people sadly answer: “Not compatible.” But in love, it’s not important to be compatible or not, the important thing is to change for each other.

For Alexis and Serena, the field that each person is passionate about is a new horizon for the other. However, Alexis never forced Serena to choose. Even though he didn’t take tennis seriously before, Alexis still didn’t miss any match of the woman he loved. In the stands, he cheered passionately like a true fan.

When Serena became pregnant, Alexis also prepared for the serious journey of becoming a father. He bought a jar and put money in it every time he said a dirty word. Alexis tried to change his own bad habits, he wanted his children to grow up in a completely healthy environment.

And a woman who practiced to the point of forgetting herself like Serena also came to realize that life still had many things to cherish. Alexis’ love makes her feel happy not only at the moment she touches the championship trophy but also from the little things. She loved the feeling of having a small life growing in her belly or sitting on the porch talking to Alexis.

Happy black swan

If we had to describe the wedding of tech millionaire Alexis and “tennis queen” Serena, there would be nothing but the adjectives “grand,” “splendid,” “lavish.” As the bride beamed as she walked entered the auditorium in a wedding dress worth 3.5 million USD. The banquet table was named after the Grand Slam titles she won in her career. And the space was filled with the sound of a famous jazz orchestra with the famous band New Edition.

The party night was colorfully decorated in the style of the castle from the movie ”Beauty and the Beast”.

At age 35, Serena is living her days to the fullest. When she had a brilliant youth on the field, a new daughter was born and the man next to her was full of understanding. And the story behind the door of the “world’s top tennis player” is still filled with sweet moments that make people jealous.

Alexis once hired four billboards to be erected on a road in California. One sign bears the words “GMOAT,” which stands for: “Greatest Mother of All Time.” Three other signs read: “Mom,” “greatest,” “of all time.” Each The signs all carry pictures of Serena Williams and her 5-month-old daughter Alexis Olympia. Rumor has it that when Serena craves Italian food, Alexis takes her wife there to enjoy her favorite dish.

Maybe, Alexis is the ideal model that any girl would want to marry. When he’s handsome, rich and romantic. Many people think that meeting Alexis is a lucky omen for Serena. But most of all, what makes Alexis attracted to Serena is her passion for the felt ball, rather than her skin color, beauty or figure.

The perfect ending to the admiring love story of Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian.

And the American tennis player also has an illustrious career as one of the sportsmen who earn the most money. She is also the advertising face of many brands, has her own place in the fashion industry with an estimated total assets of 150 million USD.

Alexis and Serena’s love story seems too beautiful for a real-life love story. But look at it to understand that, in love, just knowing how to live for each other will be able to overcome differences./.
