In 2015, then 3-year-old Mykal-Michelle Harris charmingly described how her tennis game was similar to that of Serena Williams, and the video went viral. More than a year has elapsed since then, but “Mimi” remains the world’s cutest fan of the best women’s player of all time.

In her latest media appearance, Mimi went on NBC’a Little Big Shots where she explained to host Steve Harvey that her affection for Williams is due, in part, to her being “super cool” — a designation she also conferred on Harvey when pressed.

After Mykal-Michelle’s original video blew up, her family was invited to attend the US Open to watch Williams compete in person. Unfortunately, they bore witness as Williams — pursuing a calendar Grand Slam — lost to Roberta Vinci in the semifinals in what is considered one of the biggest upsets in tennis history.

Days after her loss in the US Open, Williams sent a video to Mimi thanking her for her video and for her visit to New York.
