Serena Williams Is Definitely Pregnant, Definitely Won The Australian Open While Pregnant
A spokesperson for Serena Williams has confirmed the tennis star is pregnant.
She last played in late January, winning the Australian Open by beating her sister Venus Williams and capturing her 23 Grand Slam title.
Earlier in the day the 35-year-old showed off her growing baby bump in a bright yellow bathing suit on Snapchat.
In December she announced her engagement to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, 33, on the social media site Reddit.
No one can wrap their heads around the whole thing on Twitter. The last of those came in 1973 – the year after Court gave birth to a son. She has won grand slam titles in her teens (one), 20s (12) and 30s (10, more than triple the previous mark). She waited more than six hours to make any public comment, stoking furious debate among tennis fans about whether or not she was joking. Austin asked. “We’ve seen a lot of great great champions come back after having a child and it really comes down to her motivation”.
The younger Williams sister has won 23 Grand Slams, is just one short of Margaret Court, who collected many of hers in an era when the difficulties of global travel often diluted the fields. She withdrew from the high-profile events in Indian Wells and Miami in March, citing knee problems.
While Williams won’t play again this year, “she looks forward to returning in 2018”, Bush Novak said.
Five-times Grand Slam victor Maria Sharapova, who returns to competition next week after a 15-month doping ban, could also benefit if she rediscovers her top form.
The tennis great announced Wednesday that she and fiancé Alexis Ohanian are expecting their first child “this fall”. But then she has spent a career defying convention, becoming a champion despite playing little competitive junior tennis and returning from long layoffs and major health problems to dominate.
The younger Williams sister is just one Grand Slam short of Margaret Court, who collected many of hers in an era when the difficulties of global travel often diluted the fields.
Meanwhile other fans are getting seriously excited about the fact that Serena is pregnant at the same time as her friend Beyonce, who is due to welcome twins very soon.
