So Serena I took your master class which was amazing.

What is one thing in tennis that you have not mastered?

Well I am still a student of tennis.

I am still, every time I'm out there I try to learn something new.

Can you demonstrate for me the most difficult thing--

move, technique in tennis?

Really?

Yes, really.

I don't have a racket so...

I just happen to have one right here, so...

Oh my gosh.

Let's do this.

Alright.

Here you go.

Alright. So I think it's really difficult to do a drop shot,

because a lot of the players now are really fast,

and they get to the ball easy,

and you have to have a lot of disguise on the shot.

So, if you're doing it off the forehand,

you wind up like you're gonna hit a great forehead,

and then at the last minute you drop it,

and it goes barely over the net,

and it leaves your opponent stumbling.

That is something incredible.

if the sport required a small victory dance after every match,

what would you do?

Gosh, you know you can Milly rock on any block

you know you can apply a little twerking,

maybe a little body rolls,

so it just kind of depends.

Serena, what's your favorite app?

My favorite app is the reddit app.

How do you feel about this Pokémon Go craze

that's sweeping America?

Oh my gosh,

Pokémon.

Do you think you can whack this Pikachu

with that tennis racket?

Yes.

Ok. Here we go.

A good whack.

Two minutes.

You can only eat one thing forever.

What is it?

You guys know I'm gonna say taco as you set me up with that one.

What movie always makes you cry?

The Color Purple.

What movie has made you scream in terror?

The Blair Witch Project.

What is the most inspirational sports film of all time?

Definitely the Muhammad Ali documentary.

Amazing.

Who do you want to play you in the movie of your life?

Olivia Griffin.

Daniel Radcliffe is pretty amazing at ping-pong.

How are your skills at ping-pong?

Oh my god.

I'm probably the world's worst ping-pong player.

Who's the random person you'd love to give a lesson to?

Emma Stone.

What's the best advice your parents ever gave you?

Always be humble and have that humility.

What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?

surprised to know?
