Lewis Hamilton calls out tennis star Serena Williams on Instagram 'We coming for you’
SERENA WILLIAMS will have to watch out for Lewis Hamilton turning his hand to tennis after a confident social media post from the F1 star.
The Mercedes racer is well known for taking on ventures outside the racing track.
A fan of skydiving and other extreme sports, Hamilton is also keen on starting a music career when he hangs up his helmet.
And now he's fired a cheeky warning shot towards Serena Williams after a tennis session in California.
He had been playing alongside US fencing star Miles Chamley-Watson.
“Match point,” Hamilton wrote alongside the image. “We coming for you, Serena.”
Chamley-Watson, who posts on Instagram under the name ‘Fencer’, added: “Who wants the smoke? We 450-0.”
Canadian tennis star Genie Bouchard couldn’t help but point out that “that’s not an actual score” in the comments section.
To which the British-born Olympic bronze medallist replied: “That's our record, Genie. We just that nice.”

Williams, meanwhile, withdrew from last month’s Miami Open with a knee injury having dropped out of her Indian Wells match a fortnight earlier due to a virus.
