This is the beautiful story of this US Open 2022 and the soap opera that tennis lovers will follow with the most assiduity. Early August, Serena Williams announced that she wanted to end her sports career. At 40 and after twenty years of dominating world tennis, becoming the best player of all time and one of the greatest athletes in history, the sister of Venus Williams has decided to hang up her racket. And what better way to end in style than finishing at home, in New York, in front of her home crowd in one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet and which she has already won 6 times?
For her first match, which could therefore have become her last, Serena Williams dominated Danka Kovinic with great skill in two sets, in front of a crowd won over to her cause. In the audience, we were able to see her adorable daughter Olympia and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, whom she married in November 2017. A companion often by her side during matches and always fully behind her. However, the tall 39-year-old brunette is not unknown, especially in the United States where his career is highly respected. Of Armenian descent, he was born in Brooklyn in 1983 and in the early 2000s, he sets up a business that will make his fortune.
Co-founder of Reddit and at the head of a sacred fortune
With his partner Steve Huffman, Alexis Ohanian will create the Reddit site, whose concept is quite simple and which will quickly become a real phenomenon. On the platform, users can discuss all kinds of topics among themselves, but also share videos or photos to fuel the debate. A site that will experience a phenomenal rise and at the end of the 2000s, the husband of Serena Williams decides to sell his shares, but nevertheless remains at the head of the board of directors, before slamming the door two years ago. Since then, he has notably released a book that quickly became a bestseller and according to information from Forbeshis personal fortune would amount to some $70 million.
