The 23-time Major winner Williams retired from professional tennis at the 2022 US Open after her third-round loss to Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic. Since then, the American has focused on her family, comprised of her husband Alexis Ohanian, her six-year-old daughter Olympia, and her seven-month-old daughter Adira River.

On Wednesday (March 27), Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian expressed pride at the six-year-old Olympia's call for action on climate change.

Olympia penned a cute yet heartfelt note with the words "I promise to fight for the planet" inside a heart with thick red outlines. She also listed some of her promises for Earth Day, which is observed globally on April 22.

Alexis Ohanian, for his part, was appreciative of her efforts, posting the note online. He also tagged his own organization '776 Foundation', which aims to support marginalized communities, in his caption.

"@olympiaohanian is ready. @776foundation applications open SOON," Alexis Ohanian wrote on his Instagram stories.
