Serena Williams gives birth to baby girl
Washington, Sep 2 (IANS) US tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl at a clinic in Florida, the media reported.
Williams, 35, whose partner is Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, 34, was admitted to the St. Mary’s Medical Centre in West Palm Beach on Wednesday, reports the BBC. She gave birth on Friday night.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner said last month she was planning to return to tennis for the Australian Open in January.
Wishes have been pouring in from sports stars and celebrities.
News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out on court at the US Open.
“Obviously I’m super-excited,” Venus said, adding “Words can’t describe it.”
Pop star Beyonce and Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal were also among those congratulating Williams on social media.
“Congrats Serena! So much joy for you!” Nadal tweeted.
Serena admitted she had revealed her pregnancy to the world in April by accident, after mistakenly uploading a photograph on Snapchat.
Serena and Ohania was engaged last December at an Italian restaurant where they first met.
The two have yet to announce a wedding date.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
