DeGeneres also asked the tennis star why she signed her daughter up for private tennis lessons anonymously.

“I don’t have the patience to teach tennis,” Williams said. “It’s so weird but I don’t really like to play with people who don’t know how to play tennis well.”

The tennis champion told DeGeneres that she didn’t want to tell Alexis’ teacher who she was, but Williams also said she wanted to share with her Instagram followers how excited she was about her daughter taking lessons. Little did she know, the teacher followed her on the platform and saw everything.

Williams said the teacher thought she could have been referring to her, but she wasn’t exactly sure.

“She didn’t know it was going to be her, but I must be in the running,” Williams told DeGeneres.
