Serena Williams took center stage in New York City last night, serving up lyrics instead of tennis balls in a karaoke event hosted by Delta Airlines at Arena. Fellow tennis pro Jack Sock sang R. Kelly’s “Ignition”, while Williams opted for “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” — the song that propeled Marilyn Monroe to superstardom.

Williams, who considers herself a karaoke enthusiast, has no delusions about her singing voice.
