Scott PolacekMay 31, 2017

Venus Williams beat Kurumi Nara during Wednesday's French Open match but reportedly made bigger news when hinting her sister Serena is pregnant with a girl.

"She's going to call me 'favorite aunt,'" Venus said when asked what she wants the baby to call her, per the Associated Press (h/t USA Today).

Williams also said she and her sisters, Lyndrea and Isha Price, are lobbying to have the baby named after them. "We're all like, 'Baby V, baby Lyn, baby Isha.' We all want the baby to be named after us."

If Venus accidentally revealed the baby is a girl, it would follow course after Serena said revealing her pregnancy on Snapchat was an accident, per BBC Sport.

As for Venus, she is currently attempting to add to her seven career major titles at the French Open with Serena not in the field. Serena beat Venus in the Australian Open final earlier this year.
