It is not surprising to see Serena's daughter playing tennis at such a young age. Serena and her sister, Venus Williams, who are two of the game's greatest players were introduced to tennis as kids and have been in the spotlight ever since.

NBA player, Rudy Gobert, thinking the text was by Serena, commended her for the words via Twitter, but it was soon discovered that it was not the tennis legend that wrote the message, but someone else bearing her name, prompting the basketballer to delete his tweet.
