Tennis star Serena Williams  is stressed out! No, not because of an on-court game, but because her three-month-old is going through the painful teething problems.

The tennis star took to her Instagram account to announce Alexis Olympia Ohanian's hurting experience. She posted a picture and shared,

"Teething aka the devil - is so hard. Poor Alexis Olympia has been so uncomfortable. She cried so much (she never cries) I had to hold her until she fell asleep."
