According to ESPN, in an email on Wednesday, a spokeswoman for Serena Williams confirmed that she is indeed expecting.
However, Twitter was very quick to realize one thing. The 35-year-old won her 23rd Grand Slam at the Australian Open in January. This means that Serena was roughly 8 weeks pregnant at the time she won the trophy!
People are so impressed
Serena Williams confirms she is '20 weeks' pregnant.

This means she was 2 months pregnant when she won #AusOpen 2017 without dropping a set!

Trevor Noah even pointed out (all in good fun) that Serena Williams winning the Australian Open in January is actually cheating since it's technically a doubles match. This sentiment was echoed by many others.
Serena Williams 'was already pregnant' at January Australia Grand Slam. Now declared world doubles champion.
