Serena Williams said yesterday that big sister Venus did not necessarily reveal that she is expecting a baby girl. Venus, playing at the French Open in Paris, told a TV interviewer: "She's going to call me her favourite aunt."
However, Serena took to Twitter in an attempt to cool all those cooing on social media for a baby girl. "I think the surprise of knowing what you are going to have on that very special day you give birth is probably the best surprise you can ever have," wrote the 23-time major winner.

"So just to clarify what Venus said, I am always joking with my sisters to see what favours I can get them to do for me next. If I want something from one of my sisters, I say baby Venus, baby Lyn, or baby Isha needs it. I did not grow up with any brothers, only sisters and we all say 'she' rather than 'he'Serena Williams; her sister Venus (inset)", she added.
