Serena Williams greets fans after her last career match, losing to Ajla Tomljanovic at the 2022 U.S. Open

Tennis players Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and Aryna Sabalenka were involved in Super Bowl-related events on February 9, 2025.  Serena Williams is no stranger to Super Bowl activities, having starred in commercials airing during the game in recent years.

Serena Williams Was A Suprise Super Bowl Halftime Dancer

Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show got mixed reviews depending on who you talked to.  However, everyone loved Serena Williams’s appearance as a dancer.  Doing the crip dance to a song that seemingly took shots at her former boyfriend Drake, Serena looked cool and confident doing her thing.  Sister Venus shared her pride and happiness on social media.

 

Roger Federer Gets Schooled By Elmo
