Serena Williams’younger daughter is already starting to follow in her mom’s footsteps.

On Monday, Nov. 4, the tennis pro, 43, shared a videoon her Instagramof herself and her 14-month-old daughter Adira as they stood together on a tennis court. In the Reel, Adira picks up a tennis ball and looks up at her mom, who points to a basket filled with tennis balls and says, “Hey Adira, put it in here!”

Adira runs away from her mom, throwing the ball against a fence and walking over to a white bench. “She was just doing it, man,” Williams says in the video. “We turned on the camera, she don’t want to do it.”

“When’s too early?@adiraohanian,” Williams joked in her caption.
