"Y'all need to be following my guy" - Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian in awe of NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo's winning mindset

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian has expressed his admiration for Milwaukee Bucks player Giannis Antetokounmpo and his winning mentality.

Antetokounmpo recently opened up about why he doesn't rest on his laurels by looking at the trophies he has won. He humbly acknowledged that he may not possess the same level of natural talent as other basketball greats like Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. However, he stressed that his intense drive and work ethic are fueled by his desperation and obsession with success.

"I'm not as talented as Steph. I'm not as talented as KD. I'm f**king desperate. I'm obsessed. So I f**king work as hard as I can, because I don't want to lose this s**t," he said.

Alexis Ohanian was moved by the two-time NBA MVP's words as he shared the same on his Instagram story and encouraged all his followers to follow Antetokounmpo regardless of whether they held an interest in basketball.

"It's a mindset. Y'all need to be following my guy @giannis_an34 even if you don't follow basketball," Ohanian wrote.

Serena Williams' ex-coach Patrick Mouratoglou chimes in on the pay disparity between male and female tennis players

Serena Williams and Patrick Mouratoglou

Serena Williams' former coach Patrick Mouratoglou recently gave his opinion on the ongoing debate regarding the pay disparity between the ATP and WTA tours.

While Grand Slam tournaments and most ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 events do offer equal prize money to both male and female players, this is not the case for lower-level tournaments.

On March 15, Patrick Mouratoglou used his Instagram platform to highlight the significant difference in revenue between the ATP and WTA tours.

"I think we all would like men and women to be paid the same. The thing that people need to understand is that you have two entities – you have the ATP and you have the WTA. ATP makes a certain amount in terms of business and WTA makes a certain amount. The amount the ATP makes is much much much bigger than the amount the WTA makes," Serena Williams' former coach said.

He added that even if the WTA wanted to pay out the same amount of prize money as the ATP, they wouldn't be able to afford it due to the large gap in the value of the TV rights between the two tours.

"The TV rights sometimes it’s on the same event it’s ten times more for men than for women; 10 times more. Even if the WTA would want to pay women player the same amount as ATP would pay men player I don’t think they would be able to do it. They can’t afford it," he said.

Serena Williams, the highest-paid female tennis player of all time, was still behind Roger Federer by $780,000,000 in a recent list of the highest-paid athletes compiled by Sportico.
