In what can only be described as a surprising and hilarious twist in the celebrity world, Canadian rapper Drake has reportedly hit a ‘Grand Slam’ in his love match with tennis superstar Serena Williams. Understandably, this may cause some confusion for those less knowledgeable about the sport of tennis – namely, the entire Drake fanbase.
For the uninitiated, a ‘Grand Slam’ in tennis refers to winning all four major tournaments in a calendar year. In the context of romance, it’s a clever metaphor that implies Drake has finally won the love game with Serena. That’s right – it seems that Drake’s incessant ‘Champagne Papi’ charm and lyrical love ballads have finally scored a point in the tennis queen’s court. Game, set, and match to Drake.
Now, while it’s easy to picture Drake waxing lyrical about his ‘Grand Slam’ victory, it’s essential to understand that Serena is no trophy. She’s a powerhouse with 23 Grand Slam titles under her belt and can serve a ball much harder than Drake can deliver a punchline. So, while Drake might have made his move, we doubt Serena will be playing the role of a helpless love interest.
It’s a hilarious image, nonetheless – Drake with his ‘6 God’ bravado, attempting to sway Serena with his sweet-nothings, while she effortlessly returns his serves with her trademark power and agility. We look forward to seeing how this love match plays out.
