While speaking to Barrymore, Serena Williams recalled the moment she bumped into Alexis Ohanian in 2015, while she was competing at the Italian Open in Rome. The former World No. 1 revealed that she was at a restaurant before her match when Ohanian showed up and decided to sit at a table right next to that of Williams and her friends, despite the restaurant being mostly unoccupied. Williams admitted to getting annoyed by Ohanian’s close proximity and wanting him gone.
The American icon revealed that she and her group tried to pull a prank on her now husband. He, however, remained unbothered.
Serena Williams further remembered meeting Alexis Ohanian again the very same day while leaving for home after playing her match in Rome. The 41-year-old revealed that her second encounter left her terrified as she mistook Ohanian for a stalker.
