Serena Williams Challenges Strangers To A Tennis Match. Watch The Snapchat Story

Dolores Park, San Francisco: Tennis superstar Serena Williams - at a court near you? It could actually happen in real life. Just ask two San Francisco residents. The young men were wrapping up a friendly match when the world champion showed up and challenged the winner to a round. The best part? It was documented on Serena's Snapchat story. And guess who was behind the camera? Her fiance, and Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian. The Snapchat story, which typically disappears within 24 hours, was downloaded and posted on Twitter by sports reporter Alysha Tsuji.

In the first snap, Serena walks past a public tennis court in Dolores Park, San Francisco, where she sees two men rallying across the net. "I'm thinking about asking these guys if I can hit," she laughs. "Just to see their reaction."

After watching them play for a while, she decides to challenge the winner.

But Serena soon realizes that they may have recognized her.

"Oh my goodness," exclaims one of the men. "Is this for real?"

The winner of the match can barely believe it when the 23-time Grand Slam singles winner asks to play him. "Wow! Yes, please!"

"She's serious," clarifies Alexis. Just in case the stunned player hasn't quite grasped the fact that he's about to face-off with Serena.
 "I don't have my Nikes on," says Serena, showing off her furry Ugg boots. "These will work...just don't try it at home"
 

 

Random, memorable night. She's always up for an adventure.

Only a few seconds of the actual tennis match are on Snapchat. In one shot, both men are on one side of the court, being dominated by Serena.
 Cut to the next video, where Serena throws up two victory signs in the air. It's safe to assume she's undefeated. The two men, drenched in sweat, still seem pretty stunned at what has just happened.

"That was amazing," says one, while posing for a picture with Serena.

As Serena says, "The moral of this story is: You never know when I could be coming to a tennis court near you!"

Game, set, match.
