Serena Williams mistaken for a college student by Americans in Paris

Serena Williams was mistaken for a college student by two fellow Americans in France on Thursday. The tennis superstar was getting a manicure in a Paris salon and helped to translate for the two tourists, who somehow failed to recognize the 18-time Grand Slam winner, but did pay her an excellent compliment.
