"This is horrible... gonna be so sick" - Serena Williams & daughter Olympia get caught in 'crazy storm,' 6-year-old adorably seeks shelter under towel

Serena Williams and her daughter Olympia were caught in a sudden and intense storm after the former's gym workout. The six-year-old also sought shelter under a towel to shield herself from the rain.

Following her retirement from tennis, Williams has often shared glimpses of her life beyond playing the sport. She constantly shares pictures from various events she attends worldwide, gives updates to her fans on her personal life and family, and also provides insights into her ongoing business ventures.

Recently, the 23-time Grand Slam champion took to social media to document her gym workout with a photo. She shared two videos of herself caught in a storm. In one video, she is seen riding a golf cart to shelter herself from the heavy and "horrible" rain. She then showed her daughter, Olympia, hiding under a towel to stay dry.

"A lot of rain, caught the golf cart. Definitely gonna be sick. Olympia? [Yeah?] Oh my God, this is horrible. This is horrible," Williams said.

"I am drenched. Like I am wearing black, you can't really tell. There is a crazy storm and I am like... I am drenched. I am gonna be so sick," she added.
