Bombshell on Snapchat: Serena pregnant

Out of the blue, a bombshell announcement from Serena Williams Wednesday via Snapchat.

The 35-year-old, who will return to the No. 1 ranking next week, posted a photo with the caption, “20 weeks”.

Less than an hour later, she deleted the post.

Tennis.Life has reached out to Williams’ agent for confirmation, denial, anything. If we hear back – the odds are against it – we’ll update. But a knowledgeable source tells us that she is indeed expecting her first child.

In that case, she and her team didn’t exactly do a seamless job of making the announcement, which happens to come the same day as IMG stablemate Maria Sharapova’s 30th birthday.

So there will be a little Williams-Ohanian coming, right around the US Open.

The timing on that means that Williams was already pregnant when she won the Australian Open in January – without dropping a set. That’s a pretty impressive feat in itself.

Williams announced her engagement to Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian at the end of December, a little more than a year after reports they were a couple began to surface.

My only regret is not pointing my toe sorry coach Garry ?
