Serena Williams On The Struggles Of Being A Working Mum

Serena Williams has spoken of her struggles as a working mother.

The tennis star - who has two-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia with her husband Alexis Ohanian - admits it can be tough raising a little girl and focusing on her day job too, which often leaves her feeling "exhausted and stressed".

Speaking candidly of the demands of her life, she wrote on social media: "I am not sure who took this picture but working and being a mom is not easy. I am often exhausted, stressed, and then I go play a professional tennis match. We keep going. I am so proud and inspired by the women who do it day in and day out. I'm proud to be this baby's mama @olympiaohanian. #nofilter #nomakeup #nohairbursh lol #justme."

While the 38 year-old continues to pursue success on the court, leaving her daughter at home for work is a painful part of the job.

"I actually prefer playing in the day because I get to go home and see my baby. I've been missing her the last few nights when I play," Serena said previously. "In the beginning she would really be upset when I left. And now she's a little bit better. I think I'm a little more upset. But at the same time, she definitely still takes it a little hard. She's still super young."
