Serena Williams: 'Having my baby was a miracle'
Serena Williams's daughter Olympia will turn two years old on Sunday. The American player recalled the complicated times she went through when she gave birth. "I think two years ago I had things attached to my arm, IVs, and it was a miracle that happened, having my baby. It was really a great day for me. Then it all went downhill (smiling). It all went downhill after that for a good five days. But I'm here, and I'm going to be reflecting on my opponent more than anything. So yeah", said Serena.
On how it feels to go work and leave Olympia home, Williams added: "It's different. In the beginning she would really be upset when I left. And now she's a little bit better. I think I'm a little more upset (smiling). But at the same time, she definitely still takes it a little hard. She's still super young. You know, it's hard. Sometimes my heart literally aches when I'm not around her. But, you know, it's good for me, I guess, to keep working and just to all moms out there that it's not easy. It's really kind of painful sometimes. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do."
Williams will next face the Croatian player Petra Martic on Sunday, seeking to reach the quarter-finals once again.
