Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams.

  • Serena Williams is hoping to win an eighth Australian Open title this month but has admitted she literally has no idea where many of her trophies are.
  • The story was confirmed by her husband Alexis Ohanian who said he keeps a "spreadsheet of every little thing" he owns.
  • Ohanian added that one of his wife's trophies once turned up in a closet.
  • Williams is next in action on Saturday and is expected to maintain her hot streak, but should she go all the way and lift a 24th major then it remains to be seen where the trophy will end up.

Alexis Ohanian said he has "a spreadsheet of every little thing" he owns, in contrast to his wife Serena Williams who "has no idea where all of her trophies are."

Williams has banked more than $88 million from prize money in tennis, has won 72 WTA singles titles, and is a 23-time Grand Slam champion.

She is currently cruising through the 2019 Australian Open, a competition she has won seven times previously, and following her dominant second round victory over Eugenie Bouchard on Thursday she took to the court to give a hilarious interview about how she has no idea where her many trophies are.

"You know that's the biggest question," she said in a clip published by the Australian Open's official Twitter channel. "I'm trying to gather them. I know my coach has a few."

While her husband Ohanian nodded in clear agreement, Williams added: "It's bad. I'm trying to get them all together in one spot… I've never been a hoarder!"

Though Williams has won many of the sport's biggest titles multiple times, there is one trophy she treasures most. However, that trophy is not a major, but an award she was given by her own sister Venus Williams when she was just "a terrible loser" at eight years old.

"The one trophy I keep is my first match at eight against Venus and I lost," Williams said. "It was the final, and she gave me her first place as I was a terrible loser. And she was like, 'Serena I want you to win.' So she gave me her trophy and that's the only one I keep."

"That was a true story," he told his Twitter followers. "Serena has no idea where all of her trophies are. One just turned up in a closet. Meanwhile, I keep a spreadsheet of every little thing I own… She's not doing it for the hardware."

Williams is next in action on Saturday when she takes on Dayana Yastremska in the Australian Open's third round.

On current form, she will be expected to easily deal with the Ukrainian 18-year-old. But should she go all the way and win an eighth Australian Open, it remains to be seen where the trophy will actually end up.
