Why Serena Williams will not allow her daughter to play tennis

-

Serena Williams won her 23rd Grand Slam while pregnant, gave birth to her daughter, and got married all in 2017. Now, in 2018, she’s having another incredible year as she enjoys being a mother to her baby girl and being a wife to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.

In a recent interview with Vogue, Williams opened up about her life with little Alexis Olympia, who is named after her father, and the health emergency she had following her daughter’s birth. She also talked about her return to the tennis court and why she does not want Alexis Jr. to follow her career path as a professional tennis player.

Alexis Olympia Jr. was born via emergency C-section

Williams believes that she had a fairly easy pregnancy, but when it came time to give birth there were complications. At one point, Alexis Olympia’s heart rate dipped so low that doctors needed to perform an emergency C-section.

Luckily, the surgery was a success and Alexis Jr. came into the world on Sept. 1, 2017.
