AirBnB serves up a £40,000 a week smash for Serena Williams

Seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams stayed in a luxury £40,000-per-week Airbnb mansion in central London while competing in the Queen’s Club Championships earlier this month. The accommodation, described as a six-bedroom property spanning seven floors, included high-end features such as a freestanding bathtub, crystal chandeliers, and ornate dining furniture. After a successful doubles match with 19-year-old Victoria Mboko, Williams accepted a wildcard entry into the women’s singles tournament and will compete on Centre Court. She expressed excitement about her return to Wimbledon but criticized the stringent anti-doping regulations, which prevent her from picking up her children. Williams, who took a break from tennis to focus on her family, is set to face Australian player Maya Joint in the singles competition.

Serena Williams' daughter made to leave Wimbledon Centre Court and not allowed to watch mum

Serena Williams made a notable return to singles tennis at Wimbledon's Centre Court, where she faced Maya Joint. Her daughter Adira River, aged two, was not allowed to stay in the family box due to Wimbledon's age restrictions requiring children to be at least five years old. Adira had to leave before the match began, while older daughter Alexis Olympia stayed and watched alongside her father, Alexis Ohanian. This policy also affected other players like Andy Murray, whose younger children were similarly restricted. Despite the absence of her youngest daughter, Williams received strong fan support and advanced to the next round.
