Yeah she dated drake years ago and he talked crap about her husband in one of his songs.

Edit:Yea she’s also from Compton and got heavily criticized for it at Wimbledon for the same dance she does here. But drake has talked about her (both good and bad) in multiple songs he’s done. There’s a lot of layers to the pettiness and the beef.

Said that he could beat her at tennis if she played left handed too.

u/TedW Feb 10 '25

I could beat her at tennis if she didn't show up to the game.
That's my only chance tho.

u/Royal-Possibility219 Feb 10 '25

Nah fam. Shed still beat you

u/Umbra427 Feb 10 '25

She already beat me in every game that hasn’t even been thought of as a hypothetical yet

112

u/Good_Barnacle_2010 Feb 10 '25

If she thought out beating me in a hypothetical I’d still feel pretty good about myself.

u/RonMFCadillac Feb 10 '25

Hey! You hypothetically got to play tennis with Serena Williams!

4

u/Good_Barnacle_2010 Feb 10 '25

True! But I hypothetically lost too :(

u/Good_Barnacle_2010 Feb 10 '25

Yeah. I read somewhere that they took a poll and more than 50% of men thought they could score a point on her. I’m sorry but what a joke.

2

u/technoferal Feb 10 '25

No shame in losing to the best. At least you had the courage to get on the hypothetical court with her.

2

u/GreenZebra23 Feb 10 '25

Are we still talking about tennis?

2

u/Good_Barnacle_2010 Feb 10 '25

I mean, I was. But she could crush me against her thighs and I wouldn’t complain

2

u/Desperate_Mongoose70 Feb 10 '25

Even Doctor Strange sees the defeat.

3

u/Daforce1 Feb 10 '25

Me too, no lie.

1

u/slayerx1779 Feb 10 '25

In fairness, I think most of us are bad at tennis that we could lose to her even if she was absent.

"Goddamn it, I hit it outside the line again. You win. 😔"

1

u/Bullumai Feb 10 '25

Well, I am already beating to her

1

u/TweakyBlinders__ Feb 10 '25

A remote ass whoopin definitely lies in store

u/jeroen_ Feb 10 '25

Top boy

u/Effective-Penalty Feb 10 '25

Nah. She would still beat you and me

4

u/Awkward_Growth_6265 Feb 10 '25

Yall only chance is to call Superman and see if he could fly so fast around earth it’ll go backwards until she was little and her father was teaching her how to play then maybe 😂

2

u/Effective-Penalty Feb 10 '25

So there’s a chance! Woot

5

u/ShitShowRedAllAbout Feb 10 '25

I could beat her if we both played in a wheelchair and she did not have any time to learn to push and play. As a Paralympian I would have an advantage at least for a while.

2

u/TedW Feb 10 '25

Hmm, both of us played in wheelchairs and she had both hands tied behind her back? No, still too risky.

2

u/ShitShowRedAllAbout Feb 10 '25

I think that if she had her own custom chair it would just be a matter of time.

3

u/dinnerthief Feb 10 '25

The ball cleaves smoothly through your skull, another ace for williams

3

u/sadolddrunk Feb 10 '25

I could beat Serena Williams at tennis if she was hogtied by her hands and feet and also I was spotted at least one set (I feel like I’d probably hit a lot of serves out of bounds.).

2

u/NirgalFromMars Feb 10 '25

Ate we still talking g about tennis? Because that sounds... kinky.

2

u/Hellifiknowu Feb 10 '25

I feel like if you and me played and she didn’t show up on a 2 v 1 , we might win.

2

u/siamkor Feb 10 '25

If they made me play against an empty half-court, serving all matches per set due to the technicality, there are decent odds the empty half-court would win.

1

u/triedpooponlysartred Feb 10 '25

Even then I'd only give myself like a 50/50 shot

1

u/gobylikev0 Feb 11 '25

I mean she could beat me up even outside tennis! Yes physically imposing!

0

u/MrOnCore Feb 10 '25

I could probably beat her at tennis…….Mario tennis on the Wii.

u/motrainbrain Feb 10 '25

He is such a bitch. I don’t even like hip-hop… but to get burned in such spectacular fashion is embarrassing. Get rekt.

1

u/Trying_To_Connect Feb 11 '25

It’s embarrassing you discount such a powerful factual message.

15

u/legit-posts_1 Feb 10 '25

That's fuckin nuts. I don't think I could beat her if she was blackout drunk with a broken toe.

10

u/PogintheMachine Feb 10 '25

I couldn’t beat her if she played with her racquet clenched between her butt cheeks.

1

u/jtvyves Feb 10 '25

What about Venus ?

-2

u/InformationOk3060 Feb 10 '25

You underestimate the gap between men in women in tennis. John McEnroe admitted that he gets beat by high school teenagers all the time playing tennis now. Age and gender are huge in tennis.

At her best most professional tennis players agreed she played around a 100-150 ranked men;s level.

6

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '25

He’s not underestimating shit, unless that random reddit commenter happens to be one of those 100-150 highest ranked tennis players in the world

1

u/InformationOk3060 Feb 12 '25

They said if she played with her left hand. Her whole life was perfecting the muscle memory and skill in her right hand. Left handed she wouldn't be able to hit the ball hard, put spin on it, or serve. Any average amateur male tennis player would be able to out player her.

2

u/New_Imagination_1289 Feb 10 '25

I mean, even a 500 ranked level is still a professional athlete. Not disputing it because in general a man will always win against a woman in a physical setting, but it’s different playing against a professional athlete and a random dude that knows nothing about tennis.

1

u/InformationOk3060 Feb 12 '25

You're missing the part where they said "if she played left handed". At that point, she'd be an average amateur at best.

1

u/New_Imagination_1289 Feb 13 '25

Yeah, but an average amateur is still above the general population. I guess maybe if Drake has a secret dedication to tennis or something I could see it but an average amateur that has spent most of their life developing game awareness and skills is going to beat a random guy most of the time.

1

u/InformationOk3060 Feb 13 '25

Yeah, I guess that's a valid point. I play tennis (poorly) but I do sometimes forget that you can't just pick up a racket and keep the ball in bounds consistently without a bit of practice.

1

u/New_Imagination_1289 Feb 13 '25

That’s fair, I have the perspective of chess where at 1600 FIDE I am very bad by most standards but will still win over most beginners and casual players, so it is possible it’s very different in tennis!

-2

u/Meowmixalotlol Feb 10 '25

She lost to a dude like 7-1 and 7-2 who was ranked below 300 and he smoked the whole match.

0

u/Gimmerunesplease Feb 10 '25

And got drunk before.

-1

u/InformationOk3060 Feb 10 '25

Maybe I'm thinking of like 400-500 rank. I remember him (he was around 200) saying he was putting in half effort and playing at like a 300 or 400 skill level, now that you remind me of it.

edit: had to look it up to give him credit: Karsten Braasch

5

u/Organic-Remove9512 Feb 10 '25

Drake really woke up one day and chose delusion. Bro, she’s Serena Williams, not your local rec league opponent. 💀

u/BettyX Feb 10 '25

This fool of a man.

u/jtvyves Feb 10 '25

Drake said he could lose a watch and a bakery for own mouth running as fast as shoes laces up for the Wimbledon aye-fuck-you.

u/SwagTwoButton Feb 10 '25

She’s also from Compton like Kendrick

u/RavingRapscallion Feb 10 '25

I didn't realize that

u/EngineeringAny5280 Feb 11 '25

You should watch her movie her life is amazing

1

u/Spazzle17 Feb 11 '25

Is that the one where Will Smith plays the father, or does she have another one?

1

u/RavingRapscallion Feb 11 '25

Adding to my list

u/father_of_megatron Feb 10 '25

Wikipedia says she lived in Compton from ages 4-9.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serena_Williams

-10

u/acrazyguy Feb 10 '25

So she lived in Compton but she’s not really “from” there. Living somewhere for 5 years as a young child doesn’t do much to impact your culture/personality/etc

12

u/drinkscocoaandreads Feb 10 '25

Oh malarkey. Most of her early memories are likely of Compton. Those years are hugely impactful.

She's not JUST from Compton, but don't try and box her out of it.

u/ProudReaction2204 Feb 10 '25

this guy saw king richard

u/RabbleRouser_1 Feb 10 '25

Serena dated Common

That’s where my white ass grew up. Crazy thing. I loved it and am always still more comfortable around black folks. Safer too.

u/yalloc Feb 10 '25

Ngl funny how Alexis is now “her husband” on this website

93

u/Scaevus Feb 10 '25

It's like referring to Elon as Grimes' ex on Twitter, lol.

77

u/humdrumnum Feb 10 '25

alexis actually founded reddit. it would be like referring to elon as grimes' ex on...oh never mind, he's never actually founded a company

1

u/luke_cohen1 Feb 11 '25

Better comparison to use would be to refer to Mark Zuckerberg as "Priscilla Chan’s husband" since it’s a legitimate direct comparison.

-8

u/itsavibe- Feb 10 '25

OpenAI?

3

u/humdrumnum Feb 11 '25

he was kicked out of OpenAI years before it became successful. the board got rid of elon bc he consistently had terrible ideas and lied to leadership

11

u/MartinLutherVanHalen Feb 10 '25

No. Serena will go down in history and has fame that eclipses here husband. Grimes is shit.

5

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '25

I do find it amusing that the average Redditor who knows nothing about tennis is more familiar with what Serena Williams has done than they are with what her husband has done.

Then again, Serena Williams’s tennis skills spark joy. Reddit is just an addictive hellsite.

19

u/AlinaLxndon Feb 10 '25

I mean in the context of talking about Serena Williams yes he is her husband. In the context of talking about Alexis Ohanian then she is his wife. Should we only speak about him in the third person?

9

u/rejvrejv Feb 10 '25 edited Feb 10 '25

I mean u/kn0thing was getting tagged any time this was mentioned. I remember it being a huge thing.

and now, a majority of redditors don't even know about him, let alone his username and reddit history. for a lot of people* it's just some guy lol

* see u/Slurpaderp69 and others below

u/incognitomus Feb 10 '25

Pretty sure he calls himself 'Serena's husband' as well. He's married to the GOAT and he knows it. Ain't nothing unmanly about being proud of your wife.

2

u/yalloc Feb 10 '25

And in the context of this website he is it’s founder.

He used to be a rather big presence around here, now most don’t know about him.

2

u/DepthHour1669 Feb 10 '25

No, you do realize he founded Reddit? That’s like commenting on twitter not knowing Elon.

u/ManufacturerSharp Feb 10 '25

I've never heard of him..

Ty!

Is he considered to be ok? (As in a decent person) sorry that kind of opinion is difficult to web search.

4

u/LongestSprig Feb 10 '25

Yea, he seams like a pretty decent dude. Used to interact with him a bit over at /r/redskins

Which is probably why he's no here anymore.

This is some lore that I never knew! Serena William's husband is Reddit's FOUNDER?!

u/JackalKing Feb 10 '25

One of three, yes. Alexis Ohanian, Steve Huffman (aka Spez, the current CEO), and Aaron Swartz (RIP)

u/El_Grande_El Feb 10 '25

It was a boy’s name first.

u/Abject_Jump9617 Feb 10 '25

Ever heard of unisex names?? Alexis can be used for both a male or a female, kind of like Sidney, Avery, Lindsay or Riley.

Funny enough he has a daughter named Alexis with Serena Williams.

u/InteractionLong9366 Feb 10 '25

I did not know this.... wow. This was definitely a big f you to Drake.

She also crip walked when she won gold in 2012. She got hell for it. In line with Lamar's message about acting how people want them to, so to say. Double whammy.

u/Poon-Conqueror Feb 10 '25

The Reddit founder and executive? Drake disses the most random people

u/Organic-Remove9512 Feb 10 '25

Drake really fumbled that one and then had the audacity to take shots at her husband like he wasn’t just the ex. Man’s out here holding grudges like he got left on read yesterday. 💀

Isn't her husband one of the original creators of Reddit ?

Do you know which song?

u/originalgeorge Feb 10 '25

And she's from Compton. Which is mainly why she's there.

Also worth mentioning she was massively criticized for crip walking at Wimbledon so there’s an added layer there.

u/ScarySai Feb 13 '25

What's fine-able about the dance?

u/SADBOYVET93 Feb 10 '25

Wouldn't say dated. He poked a few times, and they hung out a couple of times. And he talked crap about her husband bc her husband was on Twitter sub tweeting and talking shit about Drake during the Meek beef.

Opinions are cool, but facts are cooler.
