Serena Williams gives birth to baby girl
The 23-time Grand Slam winner said last month she was planning to return to tennis for the Australian Open in January.
Congratulations have been pouring in from sports stars and celebrities.
News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out on court at the US Open.
"Obviously I'm super-excited," Venus said. "Words can't describe it."
The couple are yet to confirm the birth themselves but Serena's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, tweeted: "I am so happy for you and I feel your emotion."
He added: "Btw ... I wish you a speedy recovery... we have a lot of work ahead of us."
