Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl, the first child for the popular world tennis player, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou said on Twitter on Friday.
Williams age 35 is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, has not competed since winning the Australian Open in January but has posted several videos to social media showing her hitting balls during her pregnancy amongst other impressive things.
The exceptional tennis player confirmed her pregnancy in April hours after triggering frenzied speculation when she accidentally posted a short-lived selfie on social media with the caption: “20 weeks”.
Serena is the world’s highest-paid female athlete. She was about two months pregnant when she captured her 23rd grand slam singles title at the Australian Open, one short of the all-time record held by Australian Margaret Court.
She told Vogue magazine last month about her “outrageous plan” to defend her title in Australia, where the year’s first grand slam will be played from Jan. 15-28. We guess for a star like her, stepping into the court 4 months after child birth will be a dream come true.
A big Congratulations to the most talked about couple of 2017!
