WTA legend Serena Williams was hit with a wave of nostalgia recently as she fondly looked back on a video of her and Alexis Ohanian's first dance. Ohanian has now shared footage of the same.
He followed up on Williams' musings last week by making the intimate clip public. The duo can be seen having a great time as they display their sizzling chemistry while on-lookers cheer them on.
Williams called the first dance quite romantic, and it was very evident by looking at the video. The 23-time Major champion and Ohanian looked extremely comfortable with each other as they set the dance floor on fire with their smooth moves.
It wasn't surprising to see them look back fondly upon the occasion, as they celebrated five years of marriage last month. Ohanian shared a lovely tribute to Williams on Instagram to mark their fifth wedding anniversary, stating that it was their best yet.
"This is late for our Anniversary, but it's been quite a week. We had a lovely day together and @serenawilliams and I agreed this was our best Anniversary yet. I'm lucky to have an amazing partner in this journey," Ohanian wrote. "It hasn't all been easy, but making that commitment to Serena and Olympia on 11.16.17 will always be one of my best life decisions. It wasn't just an amazing weekend in New Orleans, it was the day I became a Man. Grateful for everything our little family is building together."
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
