You’ve probably heard by now how, like a total badass, tennis superstar Serena Williams chased down a man who’d swiped her phone while she and a friend were dining at Mission Chinese Food on Tuesday. Pianist and Oakland resident RolandWNoBrakes was there and described what happened on Twitter:

So yesterday I see @serenawilliams in SF at Mission Chinese. Still can’t believe I saw her… Anyway…a dude tries to steal her phone.

Next thing I see is @serenawilliams sprint past me (brushed against me 😌) and run down Mission Street after dude. — melonious thonk (@RolandWNoBrakes) November 4, 2015

Within like a minute, not a sweat broken, @serenawilliams gently walks back in the restaurant smiling and confused–phone in hand. — melonious thonk (@RolandWNoBrakes) November 4, 2015

Thank you for that special moment of #blackgirlmagic @serenawilliams — melonious thonk (@RolandWNoBrakes) November 4, 2015

Thanks for sharing Roland!
