While the image has been removed since, congratulations for Serena Williams is pouring in from all quarters. While the 35-year-old won her 23rd Grand Slam pocketing the Australian Open in January, if she is indeed expecting, Serena would have been pregnant during that time. Though she hasn't played since her Melbourne triumph, Serena will be returning to world No 1 next week despite the long absence, dethroning Angelique Kerber.
In recent years, Kim Clijsters of Belgium and Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, both former world No 1s, have taken a break to have a child. While Clijsters returned in 2009 to win three Slams after the birth of her daughter; Azarenka is expected to return to the Tour in July having given birth to her son in December.
