Support Pours in for Serena Williams After Wimbledon Final Loss

Serena Williams lost to Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-3 in the Wimbledon women's singles final on Saturday, but after the match, fans shared what an inspiration Williams was for competing.

Williams missed the 2017 tournament as she was pregnant with her daughter Alexis Jr., who was born on Sept. 1 of that year, and this tournament run has been monumental to watch as she recovered from her pregnancy and related illnesses.

Here is Williams' interview after the match:

"I was really happy to get this far. For all the moms out there, I was playing for you today"

Grace, poise and emotion.
