Serena Williams will play in the U.S. Open women's final on Saturday and it comes just one year after giving birth to her daughter, Olympia.
One year ago this week, the 36-year-old tennis star's life was in serious jeopardy after complications arose following her delivery. In honor of her comeback, husband Alexis Ohanian Sr. paid tribute to Williams in a video he shared on Twitter.
"She fought for her life, for our child, for recognition, for equal pay, for women’s rights," Ohanian wrote. "She never gives up."
Watch the touching tribute below:
