The tennis world is waiting for Serena Williams' baby.

The USTA tweeted its support for Williams on Friday after a Florida CBS station reported that she was in labor at a West Palm Beach hospital.

Williams, who announced her pregnancy in April, checked into St. Mary’s Medical Center on Wednesday, CBS12 reported.

The 35-year-old tennis star learned she was pregnant just days before the Australian Open began. For her 23rd Grand Slam singles title, Serena beat big sister Venus Williams in the final.

Williams is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
