American tennis ace Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian whisked her away for a week-long holiday to Italy after Wimbledon and explained that though his wife travels the world to play, she barely gets to be a tourist.

"I did organise, set up, and pay for this trip for us to take, and it was based on a conversation about wanting real Italian food. To be able to go away for a week in Italy like a tourist, and just spend time as a family, was actually an indulgence," Ohanian told Men's Health magazine.
