It’s hard to steal the spotlight from Serena Williams but husband, Alexis Ohanian, came close with his t-shirt.
The Reddit co-founder was pictured rocking a beautiful tribute to his five-year-old daughter, Olympia, who has not been present at the US Open since opening night on Monday.
Olympia, officially named Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., turned five on Thursday and stole the show during her appearance at her mom’s win over Danka Kovinic.
Williams’ daughter was seen blowing kisses to the crowd and cheering enthusiastically throughout.
Her mother wore a bedazzling all-back outfit Monday night, made by longtime partner Nike to mark the importance of the occasion.
The sportswear giants produced a matching outfit for her daughter Olympia who cheered her mother on in the stand sitting alongside her father, Alexis Ohanian.

Since Williams has gone on to win five more titles on Arthur Ashe Stadium, but is under siege in her quest for seventh heaven.
Australian Ajla Tomljanovic won the opening set against Williams in their third-round encounter 7-5 and has continued to challenge the 40-year-old throughout the second set.

The US Open is set to be Williams’ last ever tournament after she announced her intention to ‘evolve’ away from tennis last month.
Williams called time on her career, announcing her decision in next month’s Vogue, although a firm date on when she will go has not been confirmed.
The news came after the American superstar recorded her first win in 430 days but she said in the article: ‘It’s the hardest thing that I could ever imagine. I don’t want it to be over, but at the same time I’m ready for what’s next.’
Williams is not using the word ‘retirement.’ ‘I have never liked the word,’ Williams wrote in the latest issue of Vogue.

‘It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me. I’ve been thinking of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something very specific and important to a community of people.
‘Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution,’ she continued. ‘I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.’
Serena not only wants to spend more time with her husband, Alexis, and their five-year-old, Olympia, but the multiple-time champion revealed that the couple is trying to have another child in the near future.
‘In the last year, Alexis and I have been trying to have another child, and we recently got some information from my doctor that put my mind at ease and made me feel that whenever we’re ready, we can add to our family,’ Williams wrote.
‘I definitely don’t want to be pregnant again as an athlete. I need to be two feet into tennis or two feet out.’
