After losing the first round of her match, Williams called over the chair umpire & asked to order an espresso…wait, is that even allowed? Well, the tennis star made it happen, sipped her espresso during the match & KICKED UP immediately after! Further details & footage below
I guess it just wasn’t a Gatorade or water type of day LOL…Tennis phenom, Serena Williams, explains she needed a lift & cheers to caffeine for always doing the trick!
“I’m so jet lagged and Flavia played really, really well. And yeah, everyone needs coffee every now and then,” Williams explained after her win. “I needed coffee to get my feet moving.
“I just asked them to get me a shot of espresso. I asked them if it was legal, because I’ve never done it before. I am a coffee drinker. I didn’t have mine this morning and I was just feeling it, so I just had to get some coffee into me.”
