Serena's husband Alexis Ohanian on watching her

Alexis Ohanian had a new perspective on work ethic from watching his wife Serena Williams play.

In a Q&A with the New York Times, Ohanian said this when ask what he's learned from Williams:

I thought I was the hardest-working person on the planet. I thought we were the hardest-working industry. That's what we tell ourselves. It's all malarkey.

I've had this front-row seat over the last three years to greatness. It's a humbling experience seeing really what high-pressure situations actually look like professionally, seeing just what it takes to actually be that great. It is a work ethic on another level.

I used to change the channel when tennis was on. Then I watched my first match when I met her, and quickly got an appreciation for the sport. It's not just the physical requirements but the mental requirements. I could not imagine doing my job with millions of people watching.
