Washington D.C. [USA], Sep 24 (ANI): Tennis ace Serena Williams opened up about her positive friendship with the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, and how much they rely on each other.

In a recent interview with The Project, Williams said, "We have known each other for a long time and are relying on each other a lot lately."

Markle and the tennis champion have known each other since 2014 when they were put on the same team for a charity flag football event.
