”My Dearest Baby,

You gave me the strength I didn’t know I had. 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. 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”

Serena captured her 23rd Grand Slam title in January at the Australian Open. She was pregnant when she won the crown and did not lose a set throughout the entire tournament.

Williams is due to give birth in September.
