First Impressions
At first, no one thought that Serena and her future partner could be a match. The first time they made contact in 2015, Serena’s friends were trying to get him away from her! The pair were eating at the same restaurant, and he apparently sat too close to her. Her friends tried to tell him there was a rat near his seat, and he casually responded that he saw rats all the time in his hometown, Brooklyn. Serena invited the man, Alex, to dine with them after that.
Not Totally Sure
When they first met, Alexis had a general knowledge about who Serena Williams was, but he wasn’t totally sure that this was who he was talking to in the restaurant. The problem was that he hardly watched any tennis, so it was impossible for him to know for sure. He didn’t want to embarrass himself, so he avoided the topic altogether and was happy to know her either way. Luckily, he was able to get everything straight before their next meeting.
