Serena Williams an honorary Saint

by: Sport Confidential From: Herald Sun January 14, 2012

SERENA Williams dropped in to St Albans Saints Soccer Club on Wednesday night, accepting an invitation from Croatian tennis player Ivo Karlovic.

Serena and her entourage dined on freshly caught snapper at the social club.

There were fewer than 200 people at the club at the time and the senior players had no idea about their special guests until they finished training.

"She was overwhelmed with the reception," club president Rob Colina said.

"And I believe she might have even knocked back another function to come here."

St Albans is known for its Croatian heritage and is where many of Australia's best talent have played juniors, including current Melbourne Heart and Olyroos star Mate Dugandzic.
