The Super Bowl wasn’t much of a game, but for tennis fans – and fans of the GOAT of women’s tennis – it was quite a special night.
23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams was on the field before the big game and, much to the surprise of many, showed up as a dancer in fellow Compton native Lamar Kendrick’s halftime show. Afterwards the NFL paid tribute to both on social media.

It was a special moment for Williams and she was giddy after the fact, posting to social media not long after getting off the giant Super Bowl stage.
