Serena Williams shows that the discipline that made her great in tennis remains strong

Serena Williams continues to show that the consistency that made her one of the greatest athletes doesn't disappear with retirement. In a recent TikTok video, the former tennis star shared an intimate moment as she removed a face mask her daughter Olympia had put on her, enjoying the gesture and revealing a more human side.

A committed routine, but off the court

In the clip, she explained that she was doing it because she had to wake up early the next day for her 7 a.m. Pilates class. That moment revealed that, despite motherhood, Serena maintains the same dedication and focus that distinguished her during her career, passing on discipline and healthy habits to her daughters.

Serena's discipline also shows up in everyday moments. In one clip, she shared a note her daughter Alexis Olympia had left on the dishwasher: "In progress, please do not open." What seemed like a simple notice was actually a clear rule. Serena only partially respected it, opening the appliance and prompting an immediate reaction from her daughter, who promised to reinforce the sign next time. The scene, both funny and relatable, showed that the intensity that defined her as an athlete is still present, even if now expressed through small household challenges.

Final match and stats that reflect her dedication

Her last match, on September 2, 2022, at the US Open against Ajla Tomljanovi, also speaks to her commitment and competitive level. Serena recorded 11 aces, 6 double faults, won 64% of points on her first serve, and saved half of the break points against her, although the victory went to the Australian in three sets (7-5, 6-7, 6-1). These numbers show how the focus and dedication that defined her on the court now translate into her daily and family life.

Waking up early, keeping a training routine, and sharing moments with her daughters has become her new way of showing discipline.
