This year has not been the best for the 23-time Grand Slam champion. She was humbled in the majors, and suffered a devastating blow to her ankle at Wimbledon. This meant that the superstar’s chase for the elusive 24th Grand Slam would continue in the following year – 2022. Nonetheless, Serena has finally gotten the time she required to spend with family. As she admitted herself, the mother of a beautiful daughter Olympia now has the time to relax with her loved ones, and watch tennis from home.
There are no words I can find to describe the amount of love I have for Olympia. #mom

She also makes time to interact with her fans, giving them updates every now and then. There is no doubt that the layoff period has been challenging for Williams, considering she is so used to being on the circuit, competing for titles.

I think I’m doing good,” quoted Serena. “I have been enjoying some time at home, which I never get. And I’ve been enjoying kind of watching the US Open, which is different because I’m usually playing.” [Instagram Stories: @serenawilliams]
