Serena Williams beats IShowSpeed despite giving him a six-point lead

Serena Williams showed IShowSpeed the gap between a professional tennis player and an amateur during their meeting on Speed Goes Pro. The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion gave the YouTuber a six-point head start in a seven-point match, but he still failed to secure a win as Serena fought back to take the contest 8-6.


Speed began the match with a 6-0 lead and needed just one more point to win. Serena, meanwhile, started with slower shots, giving the streamer opportunities to return the ball. However, Speed struggled to sustain the rallies and lost the first four points through unforced errors.

Serena then stepped up her game, serving an ace before hitting a powerful backhand that Speed could not return. A double fault from the YouTuber and another mistake sealed the match in the tennis legend's favour.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion later said she was never concerned about losing, even joking that she felt bored during the contest.

"So, I gave Speed the six points to start out with, and I have to be honest with you, I was definitely not even a tad bit worried," Serena said in the video. "In fact, I was more bored, but he's so cute."

The match featured in the second season of Speed Goes Pro, available on IShowSpeed's official YouTube channel. The series brings the streamer together with prominent athletes, allowing him to learn their respective sports before taking them on in a challenge. The episode also offered viewers a glimpse of Serena away from the professional tennis circuit.
