In an unusually dish-y move, members of Serena Williams' camp have spoken out about her relationship with her betrothed, Alexis Ohanian. Granted, their statements, and the context provided around them, arrived in the New York Post, so take them with a grain—a boulder?—of salt.
Even so, the words of a couple heavyweights in the Williams orbit, presented in quotation marks, can hardly be denied.
From mother Oracene Price: "I think it is the happiest she’s been. She’s pretty tough on herself and she’s such a competitor, sometimes I don’t think she’ll ever be satisfied. ... He’s good for her because she’s one of these people with a type-A personality, and he’s more calm and serene."
Via Robbye Poole, Serena's hitting partner: "I think they’re a great match. Alexis is very supportive, caring, super laid-back. So he knows how to deal with the times when she’s under a lot of stress. They balance each other well.”
