Who said what: Tennis stars congratulate Serena Williams on her pregnancy

Serena Williams, considered tennis’ greatest player of all time, revealed yesterday on her Snapchat account that she is 20 weeks pregnant with her first child, a fact later confirmed in an official statement by her publicist.

Tennis stars from around the world took to Twitter to congratulate Williams, some of them the 23-Major winner’s biggest rivals.

Former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki was among the earliest to congratulate Williams:

"Auntie Caro" sounds pretty good to me Everyone around me getting pregnant! What a beautiful time

So was former No.1 Andy Roddick.... and his model wife Brooklyn Decker, with whom he shares son Hank, joined in to crack a joke at her own expense:

There's gonna be a baby GOAT ..... We are so happy, and we know @serenawilliams will be a great mother

She won a grand slam pregnant. I needed Andy to dress me, carry me, and delicately place me on the toilet when I was 4 weeks pregnant. https://t.co/gxXaj6VVDF
