When Williams, 33, beat Maria Sharapova in the semifinals on Thursday, Drake was center court to support his pal. He also showed up to her press conference.

When a reporter (via The Associated Press) questioned Williams as to whether Drake was her "lucky mascot," the "Know Yourself" rapper awkwardly laughed and put his hands in his face. The tennis pro rolled her eyes. 

"We've been friends for, like, so many years," Williams responded. "Just like family."
