The tennis star, 35, announced on Instagram Friday that she and British businessman Alexander Gilkes, 42, welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Theodore.

I’ll miss it everyday," she announced in a guest column for Vanity Fair. "Looking back now, I realize that tennis has been my mountain. My path has been filled with valleys and detours, but the views from its peak were incredible. After 28 years and five Grand Slam titles, though, I’m ready to scale another mountain—to compete on a different type of terrain."
