Williams holds her younger daughter on her lap, while Olympia sits beside her with her head resting on her mother’s lap. Serena herself has her eyes closed, seemingly trying to steal a brief moment of rest.
“No filters. No frills. Just a tired mom with a full heart, holding her whole world in her arms… Ready for whatever comes next,” she wrote.
Serena raises her daughters with her husband, entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian. The tennis star has spoken on numerous occasions about the important role motherhood plays in her life.
Earlier in September, Williams shared photos of Olympia and Adira during a trip to a Nike store. The girls posed in front of huge black-and-white images of their famous mother captured during her tennis matches.
