Serena Williams – Always Bounces The Ball Five Times

Serena Williams is highly superstitious. She has an entire series of superstitions before and during every match. One of the most well-known examples is the fact that she bounces the ball five times before her first serve. But she goes through many more rituals besides this one.

Williams ties her shoes in a specific way, for example, and wears the same socks throughout an entire tournament. Before the game, she also likes to maintain certain traditions, like always using the same shower before the game for good luck. She also arrives at the game wearing her shower sandals.
