Ciara also had to give Serena a shoutout for the new baby.

Serena’s coach also chimed in with some warm wishes for the tennis champ.

But like a true coach, he reminded her that she won’t have much time before she needs to get back to work.

Meanwhile another tennis legend, Billie Jean King, is too ready to see Serena’s daughter.
