 She even played a major tournament after she found out she was pregnant!  She told Vogue, "Two weeks after we found out about the pregnancy, I played the Australian Open.  I told Alexis it has to be a girl because I was playing in 100-degree weather, and that baby never gave me any trouble. Ride or die. Women are tough that way.”  Amazing!

Serena told Vogue she has a "strong suspicion that it's a girl.” On the other side, Alexis thought it was going to be a baby boy. He was clearly wrong.
