Considering this, her return to the tennis world became doubtful. However, she came back the very next year and has played four Grand Slam finals since.

Serena has defied the impossible, both as an athlete and as a mother. Thus, she is grateful to spread the positive word to other moms out there.

“It’s amazing to be in this position where I have the opportunity to say to women that are moms – you can do it,” Serena said.

Currently, the four-time Olympic Gold medallist is in France with Olympia and husband Alexis Ohanian. The mother-daughter recently shared pictures of them twinning in Nike swimwear with their exclusive doll, Qai Qai.
