Former World No. 1 Serena Williams is back to enjoying her time as a new mother. Having welcomed her second daughter Adira on 22nd August 2023, the tennis great has her maximum time devoted to her 5-month-old baby.
While Wiliams is ‘officially’ yet to announce her retirement from the sport, many believe the 2022 US Open was her last event. The American lost to Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round in a clash that lasted 3 hours and 5 minutes, the longest Major match of Williams’ career.
She had earlier defeated then World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit in the second round. In the process, she became the oldest woman at the age of 41 to beat a Top-3 player in the history of the WTA Tour. Since then, Serena has teased about a return multiple times but hasn’t played officially.
Since the birth of Adira, Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian have been very busy with parenting duties. With less time at her disposal to maintain her fitness, the 23-time Major winner had a massive shock when checking out her wardrobe.
Williams had recently shared a reel trying out a denim skirt. But to her disappointment, she could not fit in. She had to later make a comment in the video putting the skirt back in the wardrobe until she was a bit slim. She however took on the challenge immediately as she returned to working out.
Williams returned to jogging and took to her Instagram stories to share the update. She disclosed using the time for her fitness as both of her kids were sleeping. No doubt, she took the challenge to cut down some weight seriously and has already started working towards it.
