Serena Williams is finally back to competitions after slightly more than 6 months and she is doing it with her daughter Olympia and husband Alexis watching her from the stands. Serena spent a lot of valuable time with her family during the lockdown and therefore she was elated with not being separated from Olympia and Alexis. However, Serena admitted that at a certain point, she was worried (and distracted) when she heard her daughter coughing while having some grapes.
Olympia’s cough
During the post-match interview, Serena revealed
“I didn’t even look over there. I think I heard her cough though, I know my baby’s cough. She was drinking, and she was eating grapes. And I’m then like, oh my gosh is she chewing? Make sure you chew.
Then I’m thinking OK Serena stop looking over there. So I didn’t look over there but I kind of flashed my husband a look like make sure she’s chewing her grapes because she shouldn’t be coughing while she’s eating grape. That’s the new mom in me and it’s good.”
