SERENA WILLIAMS – LOST 10 POUNDS

There is recent speculation that Serena Williams is going to retire any moment from professional tennis. Patrick Mouratoglou, her coach, quashed those rumors and said that Williams could actually still win grand slam titles, including the French Open. Partly, these rumors were fueled by an event earlier where Williams was body-shamed for gaining weight.

Others should know that when she was pregnant with her daughter in 2017, the Olympian athlete did add a few pounds, but right after she stopped breastfeeding, she lost about 10 pounds. Does this mean she no longer has her pre-baby tennis moves? Not at all. We actually give her credit for doing all her best in training. In 2019, she even defeated top seed Simona Halep and also won against Victoria Azarenka in the second round during the Indian Wells Masters. Fans are excited to see her participate in the next French Open and other tennis tours.
