Within six-months after delivering her daughter Olympia, Williams was back on tour, and a few weeks later she reached the finals of Wimbledon and then the US Open in 2018. In the following year, she successfully defended her finalist spots in both the Slams and was also a finalist at Rogers Cup and simultaneously she was tackling all her injuries.
