Tennis star Serena Williams 'spotted kissing rapper Drake at restaurant'

World number one tennis star Serena Williams has reportedly been spotted kissing Canadian rapper Drake while the pair dined at a restaurant in Cincinnati.

The 33-year-old American, who could complete a calendar year Grand Slam by winning the US Open next month, is said to have dated Drake in 2011.

It appears that the couple have rekindled their romance as pictures published by TMZ apparently show Williams and Drake kissing at Sotto eatery just hours after she won the Cincinnati Open at the weekend.

According to the US gossip website, Williams was seen sitting on Drake's lap while in a private room of the restaurant, located in the downtown area of the Ohio city.

Six other people are said to have dined with the couple.
