Tennis star, Serena Williams has revealed the stress she has been facing as a working mum

Taking to social media, she shared a picture showing her looking stressed out while carrying her daughter Olympia.

She wrote: "I am not sure who took this picture but Working and being a mom is not easy. I am often exhausted, stressed, and then I go play a professional tennis match. We keep going. I am so proud and inspired by the women who do it day in and day out. I’m proud to be this baby’s mama @olympiaohanian. #nofilter#nomakeup #nohairbursh lol #justme."



Her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, recently advised her team to change strategy because she hasn't won a major title since she came back from childbirth.

"We have to accept the fact that it is not working," said Mouratoglou.

Speaking to BBC Sport, he added: "Maybe come back with a different angle, a different strategy and different goals so she can make it.

"She does feel positive, she feels negative too because it is a failure when she doesn't win a Grand Slam.

"We have to face reality, but she is positive that she can make it otherwise she probably wouldn't be on a tennis court anymore.

"She believes she can make it and I believe it too. She's not that far, but we have to change a few things."
