Serena Williams has revealed there is more to her daughter's name than meets the eye.

Williams gave birth to Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. on September 1 and was pregnant when she won her 23rd grand slam at the Australian Open in January.

In a series of tweets, the 36-year-old claimed the fact her baby shares her initials with the Melbourne event is no accident.

 

"I'm having a hard time posting about anything that does not involve Alexis Olympia or something to do with her," she confessed.

"Fun fact: My daughter's initials are AO as in the Aussie Open she won with me."
