| Good News: Tennis star Serena Williams expecting first baby! |
Williams, 35, "definitely" would not be able to play again this year but "looks forward to returning in 2018”, Reuters quoted Kelly Bush Novak as saying.
Williams revealed the news of her pregnancy on Wednesday with a teasing Snapchat post captioned "20 weeks".
The post, quickly highlighted in US media, showed her in a yellow swimsuit with a baby bump. The timing means Williams was already expecting when she won her record-setting 23rd Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January, where she beat her elder sister Venus in the final.
Williams cited a knee injury in pulling out of tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami in March. Her inactivity saw her drop to second in the world rankings. But she is set to regain the top spot from Germany's Angelique Kerber on Monday when the latest standings are published.
