One of the most accomplished and celebrated athletes of all time, Serena Williams has not played tennis in almost half a year, owing to a hamstring injury that has taken far too long to recover. Williams has been out of the WTA tour.
The American megastar has 23 Grand Slam titles to her name. Inarguably, she is one of the greatest personalities in sports.
Her break from tennis caused the former World No. 1 to focus on her family. Namely, her husband Alexis Ohanian Sr. and daughter Olympia. In fact, 4-year-old Olympia Ohanian even has her own dedicated Twitter account, run by Serena Williams and her husband.
