Tennis super star Serena Williams is already in mommy mood, and has written a sweet letter to her unborn child.
“My Dearest Baby, You gave me the strength I didn’t know I had,” Williams wrote in post Monday morning — her fiancé’s birthday. “You taught me the true meaning of serenity and peace. I can’t wait to meet you.”

“I can’t wait for you to join the players box next year,” Williams continued. “But most importantly, I am so happy to share being number one in the world with you… once again today. On @alexisohanian bday. From the world’s oldest number one to the world’s youngest number one. -Your Mommy.”
At 35, Serena Williams is the “oldest number one” in women’s singles tennis. Williams has held the spot seven different times, the sixth time being when she scored 186 weeks in the coveted spot, tying competitor Steffi Graf for most consecutive weeks there.
At 35, Williams is the eldest women tennis player to achieve that ranking. And it looks like the Michigan native is ready to welcome another champion to the family. When the baby is born in the fall, they’ll be the “youngest number one,” which is goddamn adorable.
