Superwoman Serena Williams launches from her seat and chases foolish thief during dinner date
Superwoman Serena Williams can be seen on CCTV launching from her seat, sprinting past diners and out of a Chinese restaurant to retrieve her phone who was stolen by one foolish robber.
The 21-time Grand Slam singles champion was on a date with Reddit founder Alexis Ohanion in San Fransisco when the vigilante targeted her.
According to Williams, some guy tried to steal her cell phone and she then ran him down and got it back.
Superrena detailed her adventure in a Facebook post, complete with a picture of her wearing a Supergirl outfit and a message for people to channel their inner superhero.
And another message was clear -- mess with Serena Williams at your own peril.
"Soooooo yesterday at dinner the CRAZIEST THING happened to me. I was sitting enjoying some Chinese food and this guy stands next to me," world number one Williams said.
"And something (I have now dubbed it my SUPERHERO sense) told me to watch him. My phone was sitting in the chair but I just didn't feel right.
"Low and behold, this common petty thief grabbed my phone and swiftly left. I looked at the chair, than shouted 'Omg that dude took my phone!!'"
"Not thinking I reacted, I jumped up, weaved my way in and out of the restaurant and chased him down. He began to run but I was too fast. I was upon him in a flash!
The athlete said she then thanked the would-be-robber who took her phone before returning to her dinner.
The matter left Williams pondering her own super powers.
"Superhero? Maybe? Or HELL YEA!!" Williams said. "I've got the speed the jumps, the power, the body, the seduction, the sex appeal, the strength, the leadership and yet the calm to weather the storm.
"Always listen to your superhero inner voice. Fight for what's right. Stand for what you believe in! Be a superhero!"
The superhero said she was "proud" when she got back to the restaurant and said she was greeted by a standing ovation after showing up every man there. She told women to 'not be a victim but a hero!"
Williams has not played since losing a US Open semi-final to Italy's Roberta Vinci, costing her a chance at a calendar year Grand Slam.
