Following her retirement from tennis, WTA great Serena Williams is appreciating Paris from a different perspective as she paid a visit to the city during the Roland Garros (French Open) fortnight.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion took to social media to share some footage of her visit, alongside her family. Williams stated Paris as being one of her favorite places to visit, especially during while the second Grand Slam of the season was underway.
"Paris, France. One of my favorite places to visit. Also, one of my favorite stops on tour at the French Open,” she narrated in her latest video.
Furthermore, the former World No.1 stated she enjoyed doing things with her daughter Olympia while in the city, including singing Katy Perry’s Roar during their carousel ride and dancing in front of the Eiffel Tower.
"So many great memories – even with Olympia, although she came a lot later,” added Williams. "For the first time, I had an opportunity to do things and see things that I could never really do with my daughter because I’m usually at Roland Garros."

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
