-Thank you so much for coming back to see us.
Does that ever get old, the standing ovations
and people loving you? Come on.
-Oh, my God, no. Thanks, guys.
It feels really good. [ Cheers and applause ]
-We love you so much, and you had such a --
Since the last time I saw you,
you got married and you have a beautiful new baby.
That's fantastic. [ Cheers and applause ]
-I love her so much.
You know, we are just so close.
And, you know, she's only 7 months.
-Yeah. So she's starting to become something.
[ Laughter ]
They start off, you don't know what they really are.
-Yeah, they're just there and helpless,
and they rely on you for everything.
And now, she kind of has a personality,
and she knows what she wants and knows what she likes.
It's the best time.
-Did she say her first words?
-Well, she's been saying her first word a little bit.
And she's been saying ma-ma.
It's not mama, it's like, "Mu, mu, mu, mu, mu."
-That counts. That counts. That counts as mama.
You won. Yeah, you won.
-Sometimes, she says, "Mum."
-Oh, "mum" is good.
-Yeah, it makes me feel so good.
-Oh, maybe she's British. Like, "Mum, hello. Mum. Mummy.
Mummy, come here."
-Are we going to Wimbledon?
-"Are we going to Wimbledon? Have a spot of tea."
[ Laughter ]
"We're going to win again, aren't we, Mummy?"
[ Laughter ]
-Exactly. -That's right, you are.
[ Applause ]
Where did you meet your husband?
-So we met randomly in Rome,
which is one of my favorite cities.
And it's such a romantic story.
So I was -- I went down for breakfast.
Now, meanwhile -- this was during a tournament --
I never eat breakfast during a tournament
because I'm always nervous.
I have all these nerves and I always stay in my room.
And I'm always like watching film and studying and --
but this time, I'm like, "I don't care.
I just need to get out."
So I went downstairs, but the breakfast was closed,
and so, I ended up sitting somewhere else.
It was empty. Like, no one was there,
so it was me and, like, my trainer and my coach.
We were all just sitting at the table.
And then, this big guy, like this big, tall guy walks in.
You know, kind of frumpy and like hard.
-He's going to kill you. -Like pounding each step.
-He does not walk like that. He does not walk like that.
He does not walk like that.
[ Laughter ]
He's going to kill you, man. -Yes, he is.
And so, I'm like, he sits like --
he plops down right next to us.
And I'm like, "Who is this guy, and why are you here?"
So we were being the mean team
and we kind of were trying to get him away.
We told him there's a rat, like,
"It's moved. Be careful. There's a rat."
There was no rat. [ Laughter ]
And now we're married, so I don't know.
[ Laughter ]
-Must have been something, man.
He's like -- He's great.
I saw you back there.
Well, we get to see a lot of you
and the family in "Being Serena."
-Yeah. -I love that you did this.
Did it take a lot of convincing to do?
-So it's a new documentary coming out.
And it's on HBO, and I'm really excited about it.
No, I actually wanted to do it.
It started out as my idea,
what I wanted to do to just give to my daughter later on in life.
Because when we were younger,
my dad, he had lots of footage of my mom, of our whole family.
And I always enjoyed that and I always appreciated it.
And so, I want to do that for her.
And then they wanted to be involved,
and then it became this whole thing, and now it's a thing.
It's on Wednesday nights.
-But, dude, we get to see a side of you
that we normally really don't get to see.
-Yeah, normally, you see me on the tennis court
grunting, being angry, you know. [ Laughter ]
Doing angry things every now and then.
-Every now and then, yeah.
-And then -- But this is different.
Like, this is me. This is the other side.
I mean, I'm playing tennis, you know, two hours a day at best.
And this is my life.
-You're not slowing down, though, having a baby.
-No. -This is not slowing you down.
You're gonna be in the French Open?
-Yeah, I'm gonna play the French.
I'll be at Wimbledon as well. -Oh, absolutely, mummy, yes.
-You'll see me there. -There's no quitting.
There's no slowing down. -There's no slowing down.
-You just want more.
-I want more, I'm having fun, and it's gonna be great.
-I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Serena Williams and her new baby girl
thinking about their future in the new HBO series,
"Being Serena." Check this out.
♪♪♪♪
-I can't believe how much went wrong on my way to meeting her.
♪♪♪♪
I almost died.
But now, she's the reason
why this all means even more than it did before.
-Oh! [ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, no, I love it so much.
