Serina's terrifying triumph over first pregnancy and birth

In 2017, Williams, an iconic figure in the world of tennis, secured the Australian Open title even while pregnant with their first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. Yet, her journey took a perilous turn as she grappled with a blood clot in her lung soon after giving birth through an emergency C-section, leading to life-threatening complications.

Following the pulmonary embolism, Williams faced six weeks of immobilisation. Despite the challenges, she made a triumphant comeback to the sport a mere five months later, teaming up with her sister Venus for doubles matches in the Fed Cup.

Having retired from professional tennis the previous year, Williams has become a role model for her generation. Reflecting on her transition, she expressed her readiness to embrace motherhood and explore a fresh dimension of her identity after bidding farewell to her tennis career.
