Williams, 37, is seemingly enjoying parenthood.
She has already become the latest spokesmodel for diaper brand Pampers and even sent some nappies to her pregnant friend - Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.
The American tennis star often poses with her one-year old daughter Olympia, sharing snaps of them together on Instagram.
But Williams' latest Insta video of the toddler is particularly cute - and perhaps significant for the future of sports.
She posted a clip of Olympia playing around with tennis rackets.
Williams captioned it: "History in the making..."
RISING STAR
Olympia is picky as she has no problems with ditching one racket for another if it simply doesn't feel comfortable.
And she slams them down temperamentally, implying that umpires might not have it easy with her on the tennis court in the future.
Interestingly, she often picks the rackets up with her left hand - with southpaws arguably having and advantage over their right-handed opponents in tennis.
And Williams' fans melted over Olympia's little display.
One wrote: "A lot of racket slamming!! World better watch out."
While another said: "Like mother like daughter."
A third added: "I think Olympia is protesting tennis calls. Too cute."

And a fourth wrote: "Future 30-time Grand Slam winner."
Williams made her tennis comeback in February 2018, five months after giving birth to Olympia.
Despite initially suffering pregnancy-induced problems, she has already returned to the top 10 of the WTA ranking - and is currently 11th.
