Being Serena

Serena Williams discovers she is pregnant before capturing her 23rd Grand Slam singles title at the 2017 Australian Open; from there, her world takes a dramatic turn as she puts competitive tennis aside in the months leading up to the birth of her first child.

Serena gives birth to her daughter after an emergency caesarean section and reveals the life-threatening complications that followed her delivery; seven weeks later, she returns to the practice court and slowly begins her comeback.

Serena marries Alexis Ohanian in New Orleans; shortly afterward, Serena returns to the tennis court to play an exhibition match in Abu Dhabi and join the U.S. Fed Cup team in North Carolina.

Serena plays in her first tournament since giving birth to her daughter, and continues to adjust to life as a mother and tennis superstar.

With the French Open approaching, Serena's training intensifies in Europe as she continues to navigate the challenge of balancing tennis with her new family.
