Williams recently teamed up with YouTube sports sensations [Dude Perfect](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRijo3ddMTht%5FIHyNSNXpNQ) to show that her tennis skills aren’t just for scoring aces off of [Maria Sharapova](http://time.com/4250747/nike-dumps-maria-sharapova-after-failed-drug-test/?iid=sr-link1), but for smacking water balloons off of strings and nailing a moving target with a perfectly-aimed lob. This video just proves what we already knew—Serena Williams is a total badass.
