OH BABY

NEW YORK. — Tennis legend Serena Williams has announced that she is expecting her second child.

And during a recent appearance on “Person to Person” with Norah O’Donnell, she admitted that she was “definitely” missing tennis. Williams said: “It doesn’t feel like it been that long.

“But yeah, I miss playing, I’ve been doing it my entire life. So I think it will be something I will forever, always miss.”

She may miss playing, but Williams still has a busy schedule.
