Even a 21-time Grand Slam champion can be in awe of a football superstar. Yes, Serena Williams probably had her fan-girl moment when she bumped into Brazilian and Barcelona striker Neymar Jr at a beach club in Las Vegas last weekend.
During a poolside party, the 34-year-old Serena got starry eyed when she met Neymar, who has been in the US for business reasons. Neymar did not play the Copa America which is also being played in the US.
Serena, dressed in a black swimsuit, posted a photograph with Neymar on social media. The 24-year-old soccer star was pictured shirtless an in a pair of patterned purple swim-shorts.
The moment was also captured in a video that saw the duo blowing kisses and in good spirts.
Serena recently lost the French Open women's singles final to Spain's Garbine Muguruza. Serena is aiming Steffi Graf's record of 22 Grand Slam titles.
