<h2><strong>Serena to be blessed with baby girl</strong></h2>

<p>The former Wimbledon and US Open champion will be blessed with a baby girl for the second time, as revealed on Monday.</p>

<p>Serena arrived at the gender reveal party in a pink outfit. Her outfit, a pink and white skirt, and top, stylishly showcased her baby bump.</p>

<p>In a video of the festivities posted on social media, William expressed a bit of nervousness, humorously mentioning that she hadn't prepared a "contingency plan" in case it turned out to be a boy.</p>

<p>Serena was blessed with a daughter Olympia in 2017. She has been away from the tennis court since announcing retirement from the game in 2022.</p>

<p>She is the second-most successful female player in the singles competition, having won 23 Grand Slam titles.</p>

<p>She has been in the headlines too often and last won a major title in 2017 when she staged at the Australian Open.</p>

Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian reveal gender of second child; host party with vibrant decorations

<p>Women's tennis icon Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian recently offered fans some insight into the time she went into a French Open match with merely 30 minutes of sleep after having cared for their daughter Olympia throughout the night before the fateful match.</p>

<p>He looked back at the time Olympia broke her arm after falling from a high chair, admitting that Serena was by her side every single minute of the night before going out onto the tennis court and emerging triumphant.</p>

<p>"I'll never forget Olympia breaking her little arm during RG. Yes, I had it handled, but Serena was in Mama Bear Mode and wouldn't leave her for a minute. Played (won) next day with little to no sleep and a mountain of anxiety," wrote Ohanian on Twitter.</p>

<p>Williams herself recently offered fans some insight into the incident while in conversation with Meghan Markle on a recent edition of her podcast, Archetypes. She revealed that her nine-month-old daughter had suffered a fall from a high chair&nbsp;that resulted in&nbsp;a small tear, in addition to a break in her wrist while she was under her supervision.</p>

<p>Williams admitted that she felt extremely guilty after the accident had occurred. She had no choice but to rush her daughter to the hospital a night before her match, risking a good night's sleep. She also opened up about how she spent the entire night with Olympia in the same interaction with Markle.</p>

<p>"I remember holding her the whole night and just like rocking her to sleep and I just didn't let her out of my sight at that point because I was already and I'm hard on myself, and I'm a little bit of a perfectionist. But I was so mad at myself for even allowing that to happen. So I think I got like 30 minutes of sleep and then I had to go play this match. And I'm just thinking, how am I going to play?" Williams revealed.</p>

<p>Williams recently revealed that she will be bowing out of the sport in the aftermath of the upcoming US Open. She will hope to record a triumphant outing in the final Grand Slam of her career to further bolster the legacy that she has created over the course of her storied career.</p>

‘Mama bear mode’- Serena Williams’ husband recalls how she cared for her daughter ahead of 2018 French Open

<p>Tennis superstar Serena Williams announced on Thursday she is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, breaking the news with a poem on her verified Reddit account.</p>

<p>Williams, 35, and Ohanian, 33, did not reveal a wedding date in the postings, listed under the Reddit tag &#39;isaidyes&#39;.</p>

<p>&quot;I came home A little late, Someone had a bag packed for me, And a carriage awaited, Destination: Rome, To escort me to my very own &quot;charming&quot; Back to where our stars first collided, And now it was full circle At the same table we first met by chance, This time he made it not by chance But by choice, Down on one knee He said 4 words And r/isaidyes,&quot; Williams posted on her account.</p>

<p>A reply from his verified account said: &quot;And you made me the happiest man on the planet.&quot;</p>

<p>The WTA Tour, which Williams has dominated for much of her career, posted a photo of Williams and Ohanian on Twitter with a message of congratulations.</p>

<p>Williams won this year&#39;s Wimbledon crown, the 71st singles title of her career, to match Steffi Graf with an Open Era-record 22 Grand Slam singles titles, two shy of Margaret Court&#39;s all-time record.</p>

<p>She later completed 186 consecutive weeks as world number one, matching Graf for the longest run at the top in rankings history, but she was dethroned from the spot by Angelique Kerber in September.</p>
