Serena Williams and Drake Are Not Dating, Sources Say

drake-serena-williams*Contrary to what recent photos show, Serena Williams and Drake have not rekindled their romance.

Multiple sources reveal to Page Six that the tennis champ isn’t dating the Canadian rhymeslinger.

The denial comes amid pictures that surfaced on TMZ of the pair “making out” at Sotto restaurant in Cincinnati on Sunday (Aug. 23) hours after winning the Women’s Tennis Association tournament. From the looks of the pics, Williams and Drake were captured sitting close together in a private com at the back of the restaurant.

Despite what it looks like, a source maintained that Williams is riding solo with more victories on her mind instead of a love interest.

“Serena briefly dated Drake around 2011 and even though it didn’t end that well, they have remained friends since,” the source told Page Six while alluding to Williams and Drake’s past as well as their present. “He has been at her side at a lot of tournaments recently, including Wimbledon in July, where he sat in her box next to her sister Venus.

“Serena is single at the moment and is focused on winning the US Open, and making history.”

The talk about Williams and Drake comes as Williams gears up for the US Open, which kicks off next Monday (Aug. 31) at Flushing Meadows. The 33-year-old athlete has been on a hot streak lately with winning her fifth title of the year and the 69th of her career. With all this, Williams’ mindstate is geared more towards becoming the first woman since 1988 to complete a calendar-year grand slam rather than Drake.

So much so that Page Six reports that Williams’ team doesn’t want Drake being a distraction from her winning the Open.

With Drake seemingly out of the picture now, fingers could easily point to Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. After all, they have been recently linked together.

But don’t worry. The sources confirmed that Williams and Mouratoglou are no longer romantically involved.

For anyone still holding out for Williams and Drake to reunite, another source close to the duo put it to rest, saying the entertainer and the tennis fixture “have been off and on for a while, they like each other but it is not anything serious. They are both too busy.”
