'I took a lot on, but moms do a lot.'
spoke about the profound joys — and demands — of motherhood. In the debut episode released Aug. 23, Williams also opened up for the first time about playing a Grand Slam match the morning after having to take her daughter, Olympia Ohanian, to the hospital.
"I'll never forget. This was a crazy experience. I don't think I've ever said anything about it publicly," Williams said before sharing the worrisome circumstances surrounding her appearance at the 2018 French Open — coincidentally, the same year she made headlines for her. The night before an early morning match, Williams witnessed her daughter, who was less than a year old at the time, fall out of her high chair, causing a small break in her wrist.
Williams managed to win that match, but she described feeling"spent" and"drained" emotionally. She said,"I took a lot on, but moms do a lot." Markle encouraged Williams:"You are such an amazing mom. . . . When you went and played that match the next morning, no one knew what your night had been like the night before. They forgot that human piece of it.
Though she feels conflicted about the end of her professional tennis career, Williams is looking forward to."I really want to expand my family. You know I've been putting it off for so long. As a woman, there's only so long you can put that off. Other men out there can continue to play," Williams said."But I love being a woman; I loved being pregnant. I was one of those.
