Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian first met in Rome in 2015
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian's first meeting came in Rome in 2015 when she was competing at the Italian Open.
The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion spoke about the encounter at the Cavalieri Hotel. While speaking on the Drew Barrymore Show, Serena said that Ohanian sat at the table next to herself and her friends and they were trying to get rid of him.
“So we were at this restaurant and, it was at the hotel we were staying at and I was in Italy and this guy shows up and the whole place is empty and this guy, like, really tall, he comes with his computer and he, like, plops down right next to us and he opens his computer and he starts typing, and I’m just like, why? I was so angry. I was like, why is this guy here? And so we tried to get rid of him,” Serena Williams said.
“You know, my friend was like, listen, there’s a rat over there. He’s an Aussie, he was like ‘Oh my God! There’s a rat! (in Australian accent) and I’m like, ‘Ya there’s a rat!’ and Alexis looks and doesn’t flinch, and I’m like, ‘you’re not afraid of rats?’, and he’s like, ‘Umm no I’m from Brooklyn but is there even really a rat there?’ I guess he always knew I was full of stuff. And so then, that’s how we met. I was trying to get rid of him,” she added.
