Serena Williams on Wednesday announced that she is pregnant and taking maternity leave through the rest of 2017. The tennis superstar posted a photo on Snapchat with the caption “20 weeks”, which she later deleted. However, the 35-year-old’s spokeswoman confirmed the news and said that she is expected to give birth this fall.
Williams is the oldest woman to win a Grand Slam singles title and still dominates the tour at an age when most players have retired.
Fans and celebrities reacted with a mixture of awe and glee to Williams' Snapchat post.
“There’s gonna be a baby GOAT,” tweeted Andy Roddick referring to the acronym for "Greatest of All Time”.
