2017 has proved to be a monumental year for Serena. The Grand Slam Queen won her 23rd Grand Slam at the Australian Open (while pregnant by the way), which makes her the all-time leader in women’s Grand Slam titles, gave birth to a beautiful little girl Alexis Olympia Jr., and recently got married in New Orleans. What a year it has been for Serena, and let’s hope for a comeback on the tennis court next year.
