{blackbabes} Serena Williams still dealing with postpartum depression

Serena Williams has spoken about coping with postpartum depression ­following her daughter's difficult birth.

The US tennis ace, 36, had Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. by emergency ­caesarean last September and needed surgery for blood clots on her lungs.

Williams told Harper's Bazaar UK: "Honestly, sometimes I think I still have to deal with it.

"I think people have to talk about it more because it's almost like the fourth trimester, it's part of the pregnancy.

"I remember one day, I couldn't find Olympia's bottle and I got so upset I started crying … because I wanted to be perfect for her."

But Williams, who married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in mid-November following the birth of their daughter, said she is keen to have another child, and soon.

"If I wasn't playing tennis, I'd be pregnant right now — sorry, I'm one of those women," she told the magazine.

"I've been injured so many times, and played on it, my body is used to adjusting."

Williams, who was one of the star guests at the royal wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex earlier this month, returned to the tennis court for her first Grand Slam appearance this week at the French Open, and she will also be at Wimbledon this year.

Williams said she told her husband that she hopes "it's another girl."

She added: "Olympia needs a little sister, and then we can have a boy. I've only been around girls my whole life."

Williams also told the magazine, of which she is the cover star, that she will "never be a size 4" when referring to comments she made several years about losing weight to get down to that size.

She said: "Why would I want to do that, and be that? This is me, and this is my weapon and machine.

"But I love that I said that, because I can understand. I can show Olympia that I struggled, but now I'm happy with who I am and what I am and what I look like.

"Olympia was born and she had my arms, and instead of being sad and fearful about what people would say about her, I was just so happy."

{blackbabes} No probablies, Serena out to prove she is the best

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Work From Home

PARIS (Reuters) - When Serena Williams was asked what she thought of Novak Djokovic's declaration that she was "the greatest female athlete of all time, probably", there was only one word in that statement that stood out for the American.

"Pro-bab-ly," she said with a raised eyebrow as her voice trailed off. Subject closed.

However, by highlighting that single word it summed up where Williams, the winner of 23 major titles, thinks her place is among the sporting greats.

But as she makes her Grand Slam comeback at the French Open following the birth of her daughter Alexis Olympia last September, it was clear that her legacy remains incomplete.

While trying to surpass Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam titles might be one of the reasons she pushed herself to get back on court despite all her complications in childbirth, she also wants to see if she recover her pre-pregnancy form.

"If I were to play my former self, I'm not sure I would win. Thank God I don't have to do that," Williams said after surviving a tough three-set second-round tussle against Australian 17th seed Ashleigh Barty on Thursday.

Considering the last time she was in a Grand Slam arena she walked off as the champion, albeit while pregnant at the 2017 Australian Open, her hunger for success cannot be questioned.

But what she is now having to contend with is the physical changes her body endured during the pregnancy and her ability to work around the limitations she is still having to put up with.

Her phenomenal serve has not lost any of its sting and she sent nine aces flying past Barty. But Williams' movement around the court is not as slick as she would like -- although she has played only five singles matches since her daughter's birth.

"This is just my third tournament back and I have had a long break since my last one, so I'm probably not where I was before I left," said Williams, who is making a mockery of her ranking as the 451st best player in the world this week.

"But the good news is I feel like I'm definitely going to get there. And I don't want to get there, I want to get beyond there. I don't want to limit myself. That's what I want to look forward to doing.

"I have definitely always had that will to win. It was something I was born with. I want to be able to do my best and one day tell my daughter that I tried my best."

{blackbabes} 'I want to make my daughter proud of me,' says Serena

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Work From Home

Paris (AFP) - Serena Williams said she wants to make her daughter proud after fighting back to reach the French Open third round on Thursday.

The 36-year-old American came from a set and break down to defeat Australia's Ashleigh Barty 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

The three-time champion and former world number one, dressed again in her all-black catsuit, is playing her first Slam since winning the 2017 Australian Open while two months pregnant.

However, her stay in Paris almost proved short-lived until she summoned the same fighting spirit which helped her conquer life-threatening blood clots after giving birth to daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian in September.

"It's just incredible," said Williams.

"I am so happy to be back here. I lost the first set and thought I must try harder, I must try harder -- and then Serena came out.

"I will be back tomorrow to play doubles with Venus. I don't mind playing singles and doubles -- I will fight my heart out."

Williams said her daughter inspires her to keep winning as she targets Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 majors.

"This is my first Grand Slam back and I want to the best that I can.

"I want to be able to one day tell my daughter that I tried my best."

Williams will face Germany's Julia Goerges for a place in the last 16 on Saturday.

If she gets past that challenge, she could face old rival Maria Sharapova for a place in the quarter-finals.

Williams again played in her striking all-black catsuit which has raised some questions over its legality.

But the American insisted it was crucial to help prevent a return of life-threatening blood clots.

"I definitely thought there would be a lot of reactions over the outfit," she said.

"It's not a typical outfit. But what's typical, you know? Who makes the rules?

"I feel like in 2018 the world's different. It's important to be yourself and to bend things and to try something new and to try something fresh.

"However, my outfit is actually functional for me, because I had a lot of health issues."

Williams had cruised through her opening round match against Kristyna Pliskova in what was a record 317th win at the Slams.

But Thursday was a tougher proposition for the American who was playing just her sixth match of 2018.

Barty wrapped up the first set when the former world number one netted a weary-looking forehand, the 12th unforced error of the opener.

Williams hit just three winners while 22-year-old Barty could afford to bide her time, just two winners and four unforced errors coming from her side.

She was a break down again after dropping serve in the opening game of the second set.

But just as the half-full crowd, enjoying the late evening sunshine on Court Philippe Chatrier anticipated a quick kill, Williams came storming back, reeling off four straight games for 4-1.

A fifth ace of the contest won her the set.

A break in the third game of the decider proved crucial and Williams claimed victory on a second match point with a sweeping, running forehand.

{blackbabes} Serena keeps 'Black Panther' catsuit despite questions

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Work From Home

Paris (AFP) - Serena Williams will continue to wear her striking, all-black catsuit in her French Open second round clash on Thursday despite questions raised over whether or not it breaks the rules over appropriate on-court playing gear.

The 36-year-old American dominated the headlines at Roland Garros on Tuesday when she made her return to Grand Slam tennis after giving birth to her daughter last year.

However, it wasn't her straight sets win over Kristyna Pliskova which got people talking -- it was her catsuit which she said made her feel like a "super hero" and a "warrior princess" with a nod to it being inspired by the "Black Panther" movie blockbuster.

"She will wear this outfit for her second match," said a spokeswoman for manufacturer Nike on Thursday.

Czech world number 70 Pliskova questioned the legality of the Williams outfit when she talked with Czech media after the first round match.

"I was wondering if it was in the rules," the Czech said.

"I don't even know what material it is, it looks like neoprene.

"They should follow the rules, otherwise play in the nude!"

However, there is no indication that the suit breaks any tournament regulations.

Australian doubles player Arina Rodionova also questioned its legality.

"Nothing against Serena's outfit, looks pretty cool actually," she tweeted.

"But just wondering how is that allowed by the rules if we only allowed to wear legging until the middle of the calf the longest, and ALWAYS have to wear skirt/shorts on top of the leggings. Were there any rules changes?"

Russian doubles star Alla Kudryavtseva said she hoped Williams's revolutionary black outfit leads to a rethink over the playing regulations.

"I've been asked to put a skirt on over leggings many times. You have no idea how uncomfortable that is. Or to take them off. That happened too. On both grand slams and WTA tournaments," she tweeted.

"I hope now we can wear leggings alone! Go Serena!"

Williams said the suit was crucial for her health and well-being, claiming it prevented the return of blood clots which left her life in danger after she gave birth to daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian in September.

Williams, a three-time singles champion in Paris, will face Australia's Ashleigh Barty in the second round on Thursday as she continues her bid for a 24th Grand Slam title.

She is playing at a Slam for the first time since winning the Australian Open in 2017 when she was already almost two months pregnant.

{blackbabes} Call it a comeback: Serena Williams to 3rd Rd at French Open

 

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Work From Home

PARIS (AP) -- Eventually, this looked a little bit like one of those Serena Williams comebacks of old, filled with top-notch strokes and full-throated screams of ''Come on!''

For the first half-hour in the French Open's second round Wednesday, the 23-time Grand Slam champion generally played the way you would expect from someone competing at her first Grand Slam tournament in 16 months - and first since she gave birth to a daughter last September.

And then, suddenly, Williams was back. Animated. Determined. Dominant, even. Erasing a deficit of a set and a break, Williams recalibrated her shots and beat 17th-seeded Ashleigh Barty of Australia 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a match that ended shortly before dusk.

''I lost the first set, and I thought, 'I've got to try harder. I've got to just try harder.' And Serena came out,'' Williams told the crowd, leaning forward and breaking into laughter.

''Every day is a great day for me,'' said Williams, who is also entered in doubles, with her older sister, Venus. ''I'm going to be here, fighting my heart out. It's such a great feeling.''

Williams had all sorts of trouble in the opening set, compiling 12 unforced errors.

By the time the second set was merely one game old, she had been broken twice in the match, each time at love, a rather surprising development for the owner of one of her sport's most dangerous serves.

But then she started letting herself be heard, yelling and pumping her fist after pretty much every point that went her way. It woke up Williams' game. Might have startled Barty, too. As big a hitter as Barty is in her own right, she is hardly in Williams' class - who is? - and never has been past the third round at a major tournament.

Exhorting herself and celebrating key moments along the path back, Williams grabbed four consecutive games over a span of less than 15 minutes to lead 4-1 in the second set, which soon enough would be hers. She gained control of the third almost immediately, breaking to go ahead 2-1, then holding for 3-1.

When Williams served out the victory with a backhand winner down the line, she raised both arms overhead and held up her left fist as she approached the net to meet Barty. In the stands, Williams' coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, shook his fist.

After statistics that were so negatively lopsided in that initial set, in which she managed to produce only three winners, Williams straightened things out, to the tune of 25 winners the rest of the way.

Not bad for someone who hasn't played in one of tennis' four most important events since January 2017, when she won the Australian Open while pregnant.

Williams is ranked only 451st this week, because of her extended absence from the tour. She had played only four matches - going 2-2 - all season until this week.

Next for Williams is a third-round match against 11th-seeded Julia Goerges of Germany.

Get through that, and Williams would face either five-time major champion Maria Sharapova or 2016 U.S. Open runner-up Karolina Pliskova. Williams beat Pliskova's twin sister, Kristyna, in the first round in Paris.

There were, to be sure, plenty of other big names in action Wednesday, including victories for Sharapova, No. 1-ranked Simona Halep and 10-time men's champion Rafael Nadal.

But the 2018 French Open is, first and foremost, about Williams and her return to a Grand Slam stage.

She is assured of taking at least one more bow in the singles draw.

{blackbabes} Grand Slam fashion -- six of the best...or worst

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Work From Home

Paris (AFP) - Serena Williams hit the headlines for her eye-catching, body-hugging black catsuit at the French Open, an outfit she described as "fun and functional", helping her prevent a return of the blood clots which put her life in danger after giving birth last year.

Here AFP Sports looks at three of the 23-time major winner's best...or worst...Grand Slam wardrobe choices and some of her rivals in the fashion stakes:

Catsuit No1

2002 US Open

-- A 20-year-old Serena Williams takes to the court in a striking thigh-length black lycra catsuit which kept the headline writers busy. Britain's Daily Mail described the outfit as adhering to her "like clingfilm, emphasising every astonishing body contour".

The Sun only needed three words: "Nice Ace, Serena!" in reference to the American's powerful physique.

No matter, Serena went on to win a second title in New York.

Denim dreams of Jimmy Dean

2004 US Open

-- Serena made the quarter-finals in 2004 but if her tennis failed to shine by her standards, she was again making a splash in fashion.

This time, she opted for a denim mini-skirt, knee-high black boots and a studded black blouse.

"It's inspired by James Dean," she explained to many blank faces, referencing the doomed 1950s Hollywood icon.

Top of the crops

2004 US Open

-- Don't like the denim for the night session? How about a crop top for the heat of the afternoon?

Serena chose this option which showed off her tight abs with a studded navel for good measure.

Others with a taste for showy extravagance on court

Tiger (well, leopard actually) burning bright

2007 US Open

-- Never one to shy away from a fashion challenge, Bethanie Mattek-Sands can rival Serena in colourful court appearances.

In New York, she went for a leopard-print top and shorts with matching visor.

"I like to be funky," said Mattek-Sands who can also boast once appearing at Wimbledon dressed in all-white soccer-style gear and at another US Open in a cowboy hat.

Corset for concern?

2010 French Open

-- Not to be outdone by her younger sister, Venus Williams played at Roland Garros in a black and red, corset-style outfit with flesh-coloured underwear.

It drew immediate comparisons to Paris's Moulin Rouge with the American insisting she was trying to "create an illusion".

New jacket required

2011 Wimbledon

-- Mattek-Sands arrived at the All England Club wearing a jacket with white tennis balls attached to the sleeves, a choice which has contributed to her being dubbed 'The Lady Gaga of tennis'.

{blackbabes} Baby talk: Serena's return highlights challenges facing tennis-playing parents

 

Ebates.ca - Amazon.com - Amazon.ca - Wal-Mart - GameStop - Work From Home

Paris (AFP) - The return of Serena Williams to Grand Slam tennis after pregnancy has dominated the early headlines at the French Open, but there are plenty of other players who have seen their careers changed by parenthood in recent months.

Williams' comeback has highlighted the fact that women who return after having a child are treated the same way as those sidelined by injury.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion has seen her ranking slip to 451 and is unseeded in Paris, a decision criticised by many, including Serena's long-time rival Maria Sharapova and even US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka.

Serena herself, though, has never publicly called for a change to the seeding rules, instead saying the biggest difference for her since becoming a mother is wanting to get away from court a bit quicker.

"The biggest difference is definitely that I'm semi on time (for her press conference) today, two minutes late, because I want to get home and see Olympia, because I have been here all day," she said after her first-round win over Kristyna Pliskova on Tuesday, her first Grand Slam match since the 2017 Australian Open final when she beat sister Venus while two months pregnant.

Serena's fellow former world number one Victoria Azarenka was forced to miss the majority of last season after becoming embroiled in a custody battle over her son.

With a current ranking of 84, Azarenka was beaten in the first round at Roland Garros by Katerina Siniakova.

Luxembourg's Mandy Minella incredibly played while four and a half months pregnant at Wimbledon last year, having found out she was expecting a child just before going out on court.

"It was a real shock. My whole body was sweating and I was shaking but we were happy straight away," Minella, who also lost in French Open first round, said last July.

- Ferrer points out the negatives -

With the demands of touring the world while playing a very physical sport, parenthood can also have a big affect on the top male players.

David Ferrer, who blew a two-set lead against fellow Spaniard Jaume Munar to lost in the Roland Garros for the first time in his career, pointed out that being a father isn't all fun and games.

After all, even 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer suffered a knee injury while running a bath for his twins in 2016.

"Being a father is very nice, but it also has drawbacks," said the 36-year-old Ferrer. "It makes me laugh that many parents only talk about the beautiful, but it's also hard and there are sacrifices."

Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas, whose second child was born before the French Open, doesn't necessarily agree with Ferrer.

"I see it as an enjoyment, although sometimes it's tiring, but sometimes there are tiring things that give you energy," said the world number 75, who will face sixth seed Kevin Anderson in the second round on Thursday.

Azarenka was keen to highlight the physical changes that make a successful return to tennis more difficult for mothers than fathers, while Williams feels that an added emotional attachment brings its own difficulties.

"Men don't go through the whole physical experience of becoming a parent," Azarenka said.

Serena, who suffered life-threatening blood clots after giving birth, added: "Emotionally I think it's different, because, you know, I'm so emotionally attached to my daughter. Dads are, too, but I actually breast fed for a really, really, really long time, and so I just had this real connection with my daughter."

The 36-year-old Williams has been very open about becoming a parent, with HBO filming four-part documentary 'Being Serena', while her daughter Olympia already has a growing social media following.

But some players, like Latvia's Ernests Gulbis, would prefer to just talk about tennis.

"That's a private thing," said the former French Open semi-finalist when asked about his newborn baby.
