Armstrong posted the result on Tuesday to his Instagram story, to which Williams replied, "A dream come true. Maybe I can play like you one day."

The fandom clearly isn't performative, either. Going back to 2009, Serena's tweeted about Green Day an astonishing number%20(from%3ASerenawilliams)&src=typed_query&f=live) of times: nearly 150, the latest coming this September.

And the respect, it turns out, is mutual, with Armstrong being a fan of hers too.

The photo app, though, seems to not be entirely scientific; it also matches Armstrong with Justin Bieber.

Such are the perils of ephemeral tech trends.
