Urgent:Serena Williams Rushed to the Hospital in a Critical Condition
After winning her first championship since having a mother, Serena Williams promptly donated the $43,000 she had won to Australian wildfire victims.
The 38-year-old defeated fellow American Jessica Pegula 6-3, 6-4 to win the trophy at the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand, where she gave birth to a daughter named Alexis Olympia in September 2017.

Williams, who won her first title in 1999 and has now astonishingly won four decades, threw back her head in relief and joy after Pegula missed the ball on match point.
“Even simply winning the final is quite fulfilling. “I just want to expand on that because it was incredibly significant to me. It is merely a step in the right direction.
In an interview with CNN, Williams said she “nearly died giving birth.” However, in March 2018, six months later, she made an astonishing comeback to the WTA Tour. The previous December, she had made her debut at an exhibition match in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Williams has played some terrible tennis since her return, making it to the Wimbledon and US Open finals in 2018 and 2019. However, Williams has had to rely on his own faith in order to wait for additional trophies.
