Tennis star Serena Williams gave birth to a baby girl on Friday.
News of the birth came just before her sister Venus Williams advanced to the fourth round of the U.S. Open.
Serena and her partner, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, have yet to confirm the birth but Serena’s coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, tweeted: “I am so happy for you and I feel your emotion.”
He added: “Btw… I wish you a speedy recovery … we have a lot of work ahead of us.”
Celebrities and sports stars have already started giving their congratulations.
