Vogue also posted a tribute to the new mother and quoted her
interview where she said: “Two weeks after we found out (about the
pregnancy), I played the Australian Open.
“I told Alexis it has to be a girl because there I was playing
in 100-degree weather, and that baby never gave me any trouble.
Ride or die. Women are tough that way.”
