Serena Williams and Olympia Ohanian are in training to become Jedis!

In a video posted to Instagram on Wednesday, the tennis pro, 40, and her 4-year-old mini-me had the ultimate Star Wars showdown — complete with two lightsabers each — which Williams described as "a single camera one shot battle royal(e)."

In the adorable clip, Olympia can be seen showing off her impressive footwork in a red dress with Princess Leia-inspired space buns as she dodges her mom's lightsabers.

Meanwhile, Williams, clad in a black Nike jersey, black workout shorts, and chunky white sandals, does her best to fight back against Olympia's sparring skills.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Olympia is a natural at wielding a lightsaber. The youngster has inherited her mom's athleticism, regularly showing off her talents on the tennis courts.

"Honestly, we started because it's a socially safe sport, and when COVID happened, it was like, we're just in the house with a 3-year-old, what do we do?" the 23-time Grand Slam winner told PEOPLE of how Olympia began playing tennis, adding, "There was only one answer, to my dismay."

Not only is Olympia a future tennis star (and Jedi!) in the making, she's also a wiz on the piano, which Williams revealed to Jimmy Kimmel during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last November.

"She likes tennis, but I don't know. Honestly, she likes playing piano," the fashion designer explained. "When she was in my belly, I played a lot of piano music."

"And she's teaching me! Like, I'm not even kidding," Williams replied when Kimmel asked if Olympia was taking piano lessons. "I have a baby Mozart, [but] of course every parent thinks they have like, a baby Beethoven or whatever."
