Serena: I'd Be Pregnant If Not Playing

Roger Federer calls Serena Williams the Goat.

Serena graces the cover of InStyle Magazine's inaugural "The Badass Women" issue.

In a wide-ranging interview with InStyle writer Laura Brown, Williams reveals if she wasn't pursuing more Grand Slam silverware, she'd be pregnant again.

The 36-year-old Williams, who gave birth to daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian last September, said she wants to have more kids.

"If I weren’t working, I’d already be pregnant," Williams told InStyle. "And since she was born, I haven’t been apart from her for more than a day."

The seven-time Wimbledon winner is breast-feeding her baby daughter and says that experience has changed her shape on match day.

"Yes, and on top of that, I’m in the locker room pumping before a match because my boobs are so big," Williams told InStyle. "When I pump, they go down a size or two and I go out and play. It’s crazy. So I feed her, and then she snuggles with me, which is the best part of my day. Then we play, and after that I sneak away to practice, usually around 8 a.m."

Motherhood has prompted one vital change to Williams' schedule.

"The only rule I have at practice is to be done at 1 p.m., because as much as I love tennis, I need to be with her," Serena said. "I want to put her above everything else I’m doing, so I take calls when she naps. I usually bathe her every night.

"We sing the “Rubber Ducky” song, and then I ask her if she wants the express wax or the deluxe. Express is when I rub coconut oil on really fast and then I put her diaper on. Deluxe is when I do it a little slower and give her a little massage. It’s so cute. She’s in bed by 7:30 at the latest."
