Serena Williams, after having enjoyed a 27-year-long illustrious career, said goodbye to tennis this season. She hung her racket in her home Grand Slam tournament surrounded by family, friends and, of course, her adoring fans. Further, now that she isn’t tied to the hectic schedule of tennis, she has time for a lot of things. Things that she sacrificed earlier, such as enjoying being a parent to its fullest.

Williams has stepped into the second phase of her life. Currently, she is focusing on her family and her businesses. Speaking of which, the  23-time Grand Slam champion recently arranged a play date for her daughter with a fellow celebrity mother.

I mean, what are the chances that we get to link up with our baby girls and Cannes friends?”
