Serena Williams returned to the top of the WTA world rankings on Monday and immediately shared the news with her unborn baby.
According to reports, the American, who is skipping the rest of the year after announcing last week that she was pregnant, took to social media to offer her first public thoughts on motherhood.
“My Dearest Baby, You gave me the strength I didn’t know I had. You taught me the true meaning of serenity and peace,” the 35-year-old who owns 23 grand slam titles, said on Instagram.

“But most importantly, I am so happy to share being number one in the world with you… once again today. From the world’s oldest number one to the world’s youngest number one. — Your Mommy.”
