Serena Williams showcases dancing skills, Emma Raducanu practices on clay, Rafael Nadal visits foundation in latest social media updates
Serena Williams, Emma Raducanu and Rafael Nadal thrilled fans in separate social media posts as they gave updates on what they have been up to of late.
Williams, on a break since incurring a right leg injury at Wimbledon last year, seems to be enjoying her time away from the sport as she posted clips of herself dancing on her Tiktok and Instagram accounts.

Displaying her upper body strength, Williams did a spin on a pole highlighted by her change of outfit.
In a separate post on Instagram, the American, in a black dress with ruffled sleeves and skirt, was again seen having a great time dancing to the song "It's Givin" by rapper Latto.
Australian tennis player Daria Saville gave a thumbs up to Williams' alternative talent, posting a comment, "Okay Serena" with three fire emojis.
Meanwhile, Emma Raducanu, who last played in Miami, gave her fans something to cheer for as she posted a short clip of herself practicing on clay.
A shushing emoji was included in her post.

Raducanu is exploring the possibility of roping in Riccardo Piatti to her coaching team. Piatti formerly coached Novak Djokovic and most recently, Jannik Sinner.
Raducanu also posted a photo of herself clad in all-white shirt and shorts, smiling. Amanda Anisimova, who made it to the Charleston Open semifinals by defeating top seed Aryna Sabalenka, commented, "Cutie."
On the men's side, Rafael Nadal, nursing a rib stress fracture that forced him to go on a four-to-six week break, spent time with the kids at his in Palma de Mallorca as they celebrated sports week.
Nadal will skip Monte-Carlo and maybe Barcelona as he rehabs his rib injury.
Nadal was also seen giving high fives and talking to kids as they made clay art.
Meanwhile, Spanish teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz showed off his skills in another sport – golf.

Emma Raducanu to debut in Stuttgart
Emma Raducanu will try to improve on her 2-5 start to the season when she hits the court in Stuttgart for the first time in her career. The Brit has never played a tour-level match on clay.
Another first-timer in the event is Canadian Bianca Andreescu, who is set to compete in Stuttgart as a wildcard after a six-month absence from the tour. Also debuting in the tournament is Coco Gauff, who is also slated to participate in the doubles event with Zhang Shuai.
