Serena is now a full-time mother to Olympia

Earlier in September, Serena Williams tearfully said goodbye to the tennis world after losing in the third round at the US Open. During her matches, Olympia, who recently turned five, appeared in the box to support her mother. Moreover, she clicked pictures of her mom as well, using an old camera.

While writing her retirement essay for Vogue Magazine, Serena mentioned about becoming a mother once again, as Olympia wanted to be a big sister. That was probably one of the main reasons she retired from professional tennis, as she wanted to be a full-time mother to Olympia and expand her family.
