Former tennis legend Serena Williams has had an eventful few days. She has been making a lot of appearances of late and was recently spotted at the Trilogy tour concert. What made it even more exciting was the fact that Williams reunited with Anna Kournikova after almost two decades.
Serena has had her hands full since she gave birth to a second daughter in August. As with all things Serena, she created history when she became the first athlete to win the CFDA award last week. She followed it up with an unforgettable night at the Kaseya Center on November 10th as she watched Pitbull, Ricky Martin, and Enrique Iglesias set the stage on fire.
Former tennis star Anna Kournikova was also present, along with actress Eva Longoria. Williams took to social media to share a clip of her time backstage with Iglesias, Kournikova, and Longoria. It is a fun reel, as it shows snippets of herself enjoying the concert.

Williams, who is well-known for her love of music, declared that she is a “Latin Music Lover for Life.” In the past, Serena has also attended concerts by her favorite band, Green Day.
Serena spent most of her time with her former colleague and rival, Kournikova. The last time they played a match together was back in 2002. It was a memorable reunion, one that has given rise to nostalgia among tennis fans.
