Struggling

Although we didn’t get to see the private moments between mother and daughter, Serena assured people that it wasn’t all rainbows. As a mother, Serena struggled, and she hated the sound of her daughter crying. It would make her made, and then she would feel badly for feeling mad. She struggled with her emotions, and did fall into a depression post-partum. She wanted to share this with the world, to help other mothers in the same boat.

The Fall of Serena

When Serena won the French Open just before announcing her pregnancy, she had been number one in the standings. Unfortunately, taking off the time required after that left Serena’s ranking at the mercy of other players. She quickly dropped, and eventually made it all the way to number 453. As soon as the ranking was made public, the world lashed out at the people responsible for choosing the rankings. No one had seen this coming, but other female athletes were offended and angered by the results.
