Ciara and her daughter, Sienna Wilson, turned the US Open into a special mother-daughter day out on Thursday.
The Grammy-winning singer brought her 9-year-old to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City, where they took in the tournament from the Dove suite.

For Ciara, however, the visit represented far more than an afternoon of tennis. She said events such as the US Open offer Sienna an opportunity to witness the impact of trailblazing women in sports firsthand.
“It’s so important, and I think whenever we get a chance to come out and celebrate the girls, the girls that are paving the way for girls like my daughter, you know, like Naomi Osaka, obviously Coco Gauff, and she’s such a young phenom,” Ciara said in an interview.
“I’m so excited for her journey, and then obviously girls that have paved the way before those women, like Venus and Serena. It’s so meaningful for so many reasons, and I always will support the girls whenever I can.”

Sienna also had a confident answer when asked who holds the title of most athletic member of the Wilson family.

“I’m the most athletic, other than my dad,” she said, referring to NFL quarterback Russell Wilson.
Ciara, for her part, acknowledged that tennis is not her top sport — though she made clear that she is far more assured on a pickleball court.
“I would say the tennis people laugh at me. But can I play tennis if I tried? Yeah. I think I need to really get into it, but in the interim I can definitely dominate in pickleball.”

Sienna is Ciara’s eldest daughter. The singer shares Sienna, son Win Harrison and daughter Amora Princess with husband Russell Wilson. She is also mom to son Future Zahir from her previous relationship with rapper Future.
The family is now preparing to welcome another little one. Ciara and Russell recently revealed that they are expecting another baby, affectionately dubbed “baby Cinco.”
The new addition will be Ciara’s fifth child and her fourth with Russell.
