Serena recently said she had worries about her career when she first discovered she was pregnant.
In a trailer for her upcoming HBO documentary series 'Being Serena' - which she shared on her Instagram account - the star can be heard saying: 'When I realised that I was pregnant, I was like, 'Oh my God. How am I going to play?'
But just because she's a new mom, it doesn't mean she is giving up on her career, and she later stated, 'I don't know if there's anything left for me in tennis. But I'm not done yet.'

Serena also said that her first six months of motherhood have been 'amazing', as she says that being a parent comes 'naturally' to her.
She added: 'It's been amazing. I've always wanted to be a mom but I never seemed to have time with my career. Then, it just happened, and I was like, 'I don't know.' I just dove right in.
'It's so natural for me. I love it. I love her so much. We have a great little family going on.'
