Williams was making her way to the series 10 months after Olympia's birth. The international player underwent a series of lifesaving surgeries. "That was an amazing feeling. And then everything went bad," Williams told Vogue this year.

Williams experienced blood clots in her lungs a day after she gave birth. This caused cough fit which reopened stitches and she was rushed into an immediate surgery. Talking to BBC about the surgery and her time in Wimbledon this here, here's what she said:

I had to have multiple surgeries and almost didn't make it, to be honest. I remember I couldn't even walk to my mailbox. So, it's definitely not normal for me to be in a Wimbledon final.
