Serena Williams Will Not Celebrate Daughter’s Birthday
Most of you moms deal with the same thing.
She has five times been to the third round of a Slam, including at the US Open two years ago, but has never been further.
Responding to a reporter who asked if there would be any birthday celebrations for her daughter, the 36-year-old had this to say: “Olympia doesn’t celebrate birthdays”.
She said: “It’s just a good feeling to be back out here. So she showed up in a tutu”.
“Sometimes I get really down and feel like, ‘Man, I can’t do this, ‘” she told Vogue in her cover story where she posed with her daughter.
“It’s easy to play in”, Serena said in a post-match news conference. But she settled in and cruised through the second. She hit six aces, won all eight of her service games and compiled a 23-9 edge in winners.
Earlier Monday, older sister, Venus, 38, enhanced her US Open first-spherical chronicle to twenty-0 with a three-space bewitch in opposition to Svetlana Kuznetsova.Serena started the match somewhat tentatively, but it in actual fact didn’t elevate her long to hunt down her groove.
From there, it was all Williams as she raced through the second set in 28 minutes. The break must have helped as Venus came back out looking a bit cooler and refreshed. She continued that barren run with a 3-6 6-7 loss to Witthoeft.
Serena Williams may be facing a ban on her famous “catsuit” at future French Opens but on Monday, New York time, all eyes were on her “tutu” at the US Open.
The tennis legend is playing in her 20th U.S. Open and her 80th Grand Slam main draw appearance.
Over the years we’ve seen her play in a studded biker jacket, a pink leopard print bodycon dress, a white trench coat, and a pleated denim skirt with knee-high sneakers.
Bumped up to 17th seed from her world ranking of 26 because of her pedigree and record, Williams looked relaxed, fitter than recently and ready to contend.
“It began with a pulmonary embolism, which is a condition in which one or more arteries in the lungs becomes blocked by a blood clot”.
At the China Open, she defeated Simona Halep in the championship clash.
