Alexis Ohanian, husband of former WTA World No. 1 Serena Williams, shared a cute message on Instagram about their daughter Olympia.

The co-founder of the social media site Reddit married Williams in 2017, and the couple have a four-year-old daughter, Olympia. On his 39th birthday, Ohanian thanked his wife on Instagram for the "little paleontologist" Olympia, terming her his "greatest present".

"I'm 39 today. Waking up with this little paleontologist was the best birthday gift I could've asked for. She will be my legacy — not founding @Reddit @Initialized, or even @sevensevensix (despite how ambitious our goals are) — making her proud is the lens through which I build."

Williams, who has been out of action since Wimbledon last year, recently shared a video of herself practicing with Olympia.

"Sometimes it be ya own mini," she captioned the post.

During her time away from tennis, Williams has also been busy promoting her father Richard's biopic titled 'King Richard', which stars Will Smith in the titular role.

The movie is about the early years of the Williams sisters and how they were shaped into two of women's tennis' biggest stars. For his potrayal of Richard Williams, Smith won the Oscar award for Best Actor.

Serena Williams sustained a leg injury in the Wimbledon first round against Aliaksandra Sasnovich last year.

The 23-time Major winner has been out of action since then, missing the Tokyo Olympics and the US Open last year, as well as the Australian Open this year. During a recent Instagram session with NFL legend Aaron Rodgers, the 40-year-old put to rest speculation about her retirement.

Alluding to a possible return at Wimbledon this year, she said:

“We’ve been talking about my comeback, and he’s been hyping me up and getting me ready for Wimbledon. Can’t wait!”

When asked about her US Open plans, the six-time winner added:

“Wimbledon’s before the US Open; I’ve got to play Wimbledon first. Exciting!”

It remains to be seen if Williams will return to her dominant Slam-winning self after a long layoff.

The 23-time women's singles Grand Slam winner won her last Major five years ago (2017 Australian Open). Since then, she has lost two Wimbledon finals and two US Open finals (2018-19), leaving her one short of all-time Slam leader Margaret Court.
