Serena is the mother Olympia, who is now five years old. The 23-time Grand Slam winner experienced a mental and physical shift when she learned she was expecting a child. In one of her interviews, she said, “Since I’ve had my baby, the stakes of the game have shifted for me. I have 23 Grand Slam to my name, more than any other active player. But winning is now a desire and no longer a need.”

The ones who have competed against or trained with Serena have praised her drive to be the best in the game. However, things changed once Olympia was born. But even after having her daughter Olympia, Serena continued to play tennis and enjoyed spending time with Olympia.
