YouTuber MrBeast challenges Serena Williams to serve past quadruplets—all at once

Turning pro at 14, Serena Williams dedicated 27 years of her life to the professional tennis world, accumulating 23 Grand Slam singles titles and solidifying herself as an all-time great in any sport.

She retired from the game in 2022, but recently accepted a new tennis challenge: a "4v1"—hitting a serve past four players.

Those four players also happen to be quadruplets.

YouTuber MrBeast invited Williams, along with other sports superstars, to compete against ‘normal people’ at their own game. Either the professional athlete comes out on top, donating $100,000 to the charity of their choice, or their competitor earns a life-changing sum—not to mention bragging rights for out-playing a professional athlete.

“If one of you can return a serve from Serena Williams, I will give you guys $100,000,” he said. “But if you can’t, we’ll be donating it to the charity of her choice.”

The only catch? All four of them would be returning at once.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion served 109 m.p.h. down the middle, and indeed went unreturned.

Williams donated the $100,000 serve prize to Yetunde Price Resource Center, which she and Venus founded to honor their late sister Yetunde Price who was murderered in a drive-by shooting in 2003.

Sitting in Compton, California, the center provides resources for individuals and communities healing from violent-related traumas.

Steph Curry, Aaron Judge and Dan Ticktum also won their designated games, along with world record breath-holder Budimir Šobat and hot-dog eating champion Joey Chesnut.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard fell short in their basketball shootouts, but it was Brazilian soccer player Neymar who had the most on the line.

$500,000 was wagered between Neymar and a MrBeast subscriber, with the subscriber taking it home after a close-call and raised stakes from the professional.

The full episode is live on MrBeast’s YouTube channel, with Williams kicking off the half-hour show.
