“Thank goodness I picked up a racket” – Serena Williams makes amusing admission after her ‘major flop’ at mini basketball game

“Thank goodness I picked up a racket” – Serena Williams Jokes About Her Epic Fail in Mini Basketball Game

Serena Williams is known worldwide for her unmatched tennis skills, but it turns out basketball may not be her strong suit — and she’s not afraid to admit it!

In a lighthearted moment that had fans laughing, the 23-time Grand Slam champion took to social media to share a hilarious clip of herself attempting to shoot hoops at a mini basketball game. But instead of scoring points, Serena ended up with a total miss. Her reaction? Classic Serena. With a big smile and her trademark sense of humor, she captioned the moment: “Thank goodness I picked up a racket.”

Fans were quick to join in the fun, cheering her honesty and laughing along with her. “We still love you, Queen!” one follower wrote, while another said, “Hey, not everyone can be great at everything — and you already mastered tennis!” Some even joked that maybe her daughter Olympia would have a better shot (literally!) at basketball.

This playful moment is just another reason Serena remains so loved, even off the court. She’s proven time and time again that she’s not just a fierce athlete, but also someone who can laugh at herself, stay grounded, and share genuine moments with her fans.

While the basketball hoop didn’t quite cooperate, Serena’s sporting spirit never fails to shine through. Whether she’s serving up aces at Wimbledon or tossing up air balls at a funfair, she keeps it real — and we love her for that.

Since retiring from professional tennis, Serena has been keeping herself busy with motherhood, business ventures, and attending big events. But it’s these little candid moments that remind us she’s still the same fun-loving, unstoppable Serena we’ve watched for years.

In the end, we’re all just glad she chose the tennis court over the basketball court — because let’s be honest, the game of tennis wouldn’t have been the same without her. As one fan put it perfectly: “Serena may miss the hoop, but she’ll never miss our hearts.”

And to that we say — keep the laughs coming, Serena! The world could always use more of your energy and humor.
