Serena Williams once again appeared in the Olympic tennis matches.
Except this time, she was a spectator who was there to watch Serbian Novak Djokovic and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz battle for the gold medal.
The 42-year-old Golden Slam winner was engrossed in the final match of the men’s singles tournament at these Olympic Games.
Her blonde curls were loose and contrasted with her black student jacket, tank top, pants and sunglasses.
With his victory, Djokovic becomes only the fifth player in tennis history to win the Golden Slam in singles, joining Rafael Nadal, Serena, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.
Serena Williams once again made an appearance in Olympic tennis matches as she watched Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz battle it out for the gold medal on Sunday.
The match was a rematch of the 2024 Wimbledon final, in which Novak defeated his rival 7-6 7-6 in the men’s singles final at the Stade Roland-Garros on Sunday afternoon.
This marked Serbia’s second gold medal in Paris and the country’s eighth as an independent nation in its history.
After claiming an Olympic title at his fifth attempt, Djokovic said the win was “arguably the biggest” success of his glittering career.
Serena was very much into the match, displaying a range of emotions as it progressed to its conclusion.
During the game, the Compton, California, native was seen speaking with IOC President Thomas Bach.
Meanwhile, Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian, 41, recently joined forces with rapper Flavor Flav, 65, to support another Olympic competitor.
Both men jumped in to help Veronica Fraley, a member of the U.S. team who competes as a discus thrower in track and field, who posted the night before her event that she couldn’t pay her rent on X (formerly Twitter).
‘I’m competing in the Olympics TOMORROW and I can’t even pay rent – my school only sent about 75% of my rent while soccer players (who haven’t won anything) get paid enough to buy new cars and houses,’ she shared.

Wasting no time, hip-hop legend Flavor Fav stepped in to help calm the discus thrower down so she could focus on the task at hand.
Less than 10 minutes later, Reddit co-founder Ohanian joined the conversation and offered his help.
“Come on! I’ll share it with @flavorfav,” the entrepreneur replied.
Less than two hours later, Ohanian returned to X and wrote: “Update! It’s done,” he wrote simply in a post, along with another message saying Fraley had received $7,760.
