Serena Williams made the most of her time in Europe after losing in the fourth round of the French Open, spending it vacationing with her family in the South of France. The 39-year-old tennis star was photographed at a posh hotel, wearing a vivid swimsuit with bright yellow and pink panels. She was spotted conversing intimately with her 38-year-old husband, Alexis Ohanian, as they spent quality time by the pool and in the cold waters.

Serena appeared happy and carefree, smiling and chatting with Alexis as they took turns diving into the sea from a stone side and a diving board. Both appeared to enjoy their lighthearted moments, with Serena gently entering the pool via a short metal staircase. Her beautiful one-piece swimsuit, along with a delicate gold necklace, emphasised her comfortable yet fashionable seaside style. Alexis complemented her with brightly patterned swimming trunks, leaving his long brunette hair free for the aquatic experience.

The pair, who have a three-year-old daughter named Olympia, travelled to France for the French Open, where Serena lost to Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina. Despite the loss, Serena was pleased with her performance and eagerly anticipated the forthcoming tennis season on grass courts, which had always been a good surface for her. Reflecting on her experience at Roland Garros, she acknowledged the difficulties encountered throughout the clay season but remained confident about the upcoming contests.

Serena also revealed details on Olympia’s growing interest in tennis, stating that her daughter had begun taking lessons. While Serena refrained from personally watching Olympia’s training in order to avoid being overprotective or distracting, she did remark Olympia’s interest for the sport, implying a possible legacy continuance in the tennis world.
