The tennis star is competing for the first time in New Zealand following her engagement to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
ADVERTISEMENTThere’s been no let-up in Serena Williams’ schedule since the tennis star announced that she was getting married.
The news broke on Thursday that the world number two had got engaged to Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.
“He said four words”, and I said yes – she wrote in a poem published on the social media company’s website.
Her fiance popped the question during a surprise trip to Rome. The couple have reportedly been dating for over a year.
