With her powerful serves and groundstrokes, Serena Williams amassed 23 single Grand Slam titles during her remarkable journey on the tour. But among her many achievements, the former tennis star’s triumph at the 2017 Australian Open stands out, as she won the major title while she was pregnant with her first child, Olympia. Reminiscing about her rare ‘tennis mom’ feat, the American tennis icon recently opened up about how her daughter was quite ‘surprised’ when she found out about the same.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE Magazine, the ‘Queen of the Court’ was asked if there were any stories or memories from her illustrious competitive journey that she had started telling her daughters. Williams answered, “Yeah, Olympia’s now at an age where she’s like, ‘Listen, I am wondering, why are you so famous?’ She was like, ‘You’re a great tennis player.’ And so I told her the other day that she actually was in my belly when I won a big tournament [the 2017 Australian Open] and she was surprised.”

The 23-time singles Grand Slam champion went on to say that her daughter has reached an age when she can be more honest with her. She said, “She’s at an age now where I can kind of open up to her a little bit more.” Not just her on-court endeavors, but the 42-year-old tennis icon disclosed that she also likes to talk to Olympia about her off-court activities, including her business ideas.

After putting down her racket in the 2022 season, the former American tennis pro is now diligently keeping up with her business endeavors, including her soon-to-be-launched cosmetics brand, ‘Wyn Beauty by Serena Williams.’ Notably, in the same interview, the former number 1 player also opened up about how she enjoys ‘conceptualizing’ some of her products with her 6-year-old daughter, Olympia.

The WTA legend said, “It’s also fun to show your daughter as you’re creating products and say, ‘What do you think about this? Do you like this name?’ And then literally have her say, ‘I like that name better than this.’ It’s something that’s really cool, to really conceptualize together.” What do you think of the American tennis legend taking business advice from her little daughter?
