The 23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams, is one of the most followed athletes on social media. Williams keeps her fans updated about her private life and regularly posts adorable pictures with her 3-year-old daughter, Olympia.

Whether it’s playing tennis, baking together, to posing for a photoshoot, the mother-daughter duo is always inseparable. In the recent past, Olympia has also been spotted in the stands alongside her father, Alexis Ohanian, cheering on for her mother.

Early today, Williams took to Twitter and wrote a short yet lovely tweet, expressing her unconditional love for her daughter. The American said: “There are no words I can find to describe the amount of love I have for Olympia. #mom“.

Interestingly, former World No. 5 Eugenie Bouchard commented on that tweet and asked Williams when does she plan on having a second child.

The Canadian tennis player tweeted “When are you having another one”, along with a heart-eyes emoji next to it. However, it didn’t stop there, Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou jumped in and replied to Bouchard’s comment with an amusing tweet.

In a cheeky response, the French tennis coach told Bouchard to let Williams play more tennis before she welcomes a second child. “Give her a bit more tennis time before next one,” tweeted Mouratoglou.

The American is planning to make a comeback at the WTA 1000 Toronto, which starts next month. For the last four years, she has been eyeing an elusive 24th Grand Slam title, however; despite reaching four Grand Slam finals in the interim, Williams has failed to cross the finish line each time.

In conclusion, it would be intriguing to see if Williams responds to the comments made by her coach and Bouchard. Do you think Williams can lift her 24th Grand Slam title at the 2021 US Open?
