TENNIS legend Serena Williams has revealed her agony about getting angry with her young daughter owing to her attitude. Williams says she is suffering from anxiety because of her inability to partake in all tennis events for the foreseeable future and because of the Achilles injury she suffered during French Open.
The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion is even limiting the time she spends with little Alexis Olympia, who is two and a half. Williams opened up in a post on TikTok, saying: ““Now I’ve been social distancing for actually a really long time, and every little thing makes me crazy.

“And by anxiety I mean I’m just on edge. Any time anyone sneezes around me or coughs I get crazy. “I don’t hang out with anyone, and when I say anyone I mean my daughter. “She coughed, I got angry and gave her a side-eye. I gave her that ‘angry Serena’ and then I got sad. “I was like, ‘Is she ok? Is there something wrong with my daughter? Is there anything I can do?’
“I just don’t know what to do, so instead of being relaxed I’m really under a ton of stress.”
Serena Williams withdrew from the 2020 French Open because of a lingering left Achilles injury she originally suffered while competing in the U.S. Open.
The impact on the sport began with organisers of the Indian Wells joint event calling off the tournament and quickly accelerated.
