The tennis star welcomed her second child Adira in August 2023
The 23-time Grand Slam winner was accompanied by her eldest daughter Olympia as they sat courtside, watching Venus take on Diana Shnaider. Although Venus, 43, went on to lose the match, she would have no doubt appreciated her family's support.The Miami Open is a special place for the Williams sisters – it was the first tournament where both Serena and Venus faced each other in 11 of their finals together. Venus won that time in 1999, winning three titles in a span of four years, 1998-2001.
Back in 2016, Serena opened up about why the Miami Open was so important to her. "The tournament's attendance through the years has continued to increase, and I've been fortunate to have the fans' loyal support," she told "I hear 'Come on, Serena!' cheers in many languages when I play in Miami. I love the diversity and the passion of the crowds. The mix of cultures and the incredible energy make it so fun to play."The Miami Open has played an important role in my life and the lives of so many others.
"In 1997, the tournament offered a wild card to Venus when she was just 16 years old. Miami also helped lead the way for gender equality in the tennis world."Before 1985, the only combined men's and women's events were the four Grand Slams. In its inaugural year, the Miami Open broke that convention and featured both men and women."The sighting this week marked 42-year-old Serena's first tennis appearance since welcoming her second child, Adira, in August 2023.
She also confessed: "As a super hands-on mom, I can't tell you how hard it was. I lost so many matches after I had Olympia because it was so hard to be on the court. I feel like I've given so much of my life to tennis, my entire life, that it's time to do something different for me and also work on other things.
