Watch: Serena Williams shares heartwarming video of daughter Olympia dancing
Serena Williams recently took to Instagram to share a video of her daughter Olympia Ohanian dancing for her mother as part of her morning routine. The pair can be seen wearing matching outfits, much to the amusement of fans.
"My morning 🤣" Serena captioned the post.
The former World No. 1 is currently on the sidelines, recovering from an injury that has kept her out of action for the past six months. Williams has been spending her downtime with Olympia, and the mother-daughter duo have been regularly spotted having fun.
In the latest video, Williams looked delighted watching Olympia dance. She even joked that Olympia had enough charisma for the both of them.
"I don't need to be in the camera," Serena said to her daughter Olympia. "You got too much pizzazz, girl."

Serena Williams still in pursuit of 24th Grand Slam
Serena Williams is still on the quest for her 24th Grand Slam title. The American has been stuck on 23 for the past four years. Her last Major came at the 2017 Australian Open, where she defeated sister Venus Williams in the final.
The World No. 41 has come agonizingly close to a record-equalling 24th Slam four times since then, reaching the final at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2018 and 2019. She was thwarted in each of her four attempts by four different players - Angelique Kerber, Naomi Osaka, Simona Halep and Bianca Andreescu.
Williams suffered a hamstring injury at this year's Wimbledon that forced her to retire from her first-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich. She did not play at the US Open, and called time on the rest of her season.

Williams was expecting to be fit in time for the 2022 Australian Open. Unfortunately, her recovery process did not go according to plan. In December, she announced that she was pulling out of the tournament on the advice of her medical team.
"While this is never an easy decision to make, I am not where I need to be physically to compete," Serena said.
At the moment, Serena Williams is one short of Margaret Court for the most number of Grand Slam titles. The Australian won 11 Majors in the Open Era and 13 as an amateur.
