Serena told Vogue she has a ‘strong suspicion that it’s a girl,’ while Alexis thought it was going to be a baby boy. 

‘Two weeks after we found out [about the pregnancy], I played the Australian Open,’ she said. 

‘I told Alexis it has to be a girl because I was playing in 100-degree weather, and that baby never gave me any trouble. Ride or die. Women are tough that way.’
