The #1 ranked tennis player in the world, Serena Williams, is on top of the world after her recent defeat of Justine Henin to win her fifth Australian Open.  With 25 Grand Slam titles to her name, when does she find time to enjoy life on a personal level?

Serena is looking to take her relationship with her rapper and actor boyfriend Common to the next level.  Marriage and babies?  Hold up–not so fast!  The tennis star said:

“I would love to have a baby… But I have two dogs I take care of and they’re so cute, but sometimes I forget them.  One time I was in the locker room… I was busy and I left and I was in the car driving home and I was like, ‘Oops!’ I definitely don’t need any kids because I forgot my dog.”

It’s not just forgetting the baby that freaks out Serena on the whole pregnancy thing.  She continued, “Every time I see a woman walking around pregnant, I’m like.  “Oh my God, I could never do that.’  How are you walking?  I look at them and my back starts hurting!  That’s as far as I’ve gotten with that (having kids) but eventually, maybe one day I’ll get there.  That would be awesome.”

Next up for Williams is the Barclay Dubai Tennis Championships.  She and Roger Federer will headline the tournament that is set to begin on February 14th.
