“I don’t push her because I’m like, she’s four,” Serena said. “She’s alright. I’ve seen four-year-olds that might take her out.”

Ellen mentioned how Serena enrolled Olympia in tennis lessons, but didn’t tell the teacher that she was the mother of the child.

“I don’t have the patience to teach tennis. I don’t really like to play with people who don’t know how to play tennis well. It drives me nuts,” Serena said. “So, I was like, I can’t. I don’t have the patience for this. So I signed her up for a private teacher.”
