Serena Williams treats fans to unexpected glimpse into what her day looks like at 2 am

Serena Williams offered a late-night glimpse into her activities, revealing how a midnight coffee left her wide awake at 2:00 a.m. The American tennis icon, known for her love of doing laundry, spent the early hours indulging in the chore, making the most of her sleepless night.

Taking to TikTok, Williams shared a video of herself doing laundry at 2:00 a.m., turning an ordinary chore into a fun and relatable moment.

"What do I do when I can’t sleep? One of my favorite things—laundry, baby," Serena Williams said, adding a playful dance step.

Typically meticulous about separating her clothes, Williams acknowledged that lately, she had been tossing everything together and it had been working just fine. While putting her clothes in for a "quick wash," she revealed her love for the smell of the laundry room and her fondness for doing laundry, especially during vacations.

After completing the task, the 43-year-old humorously declared she would find another activity since sleep was still elusive. She also promised to skip coffee the following night.
