Serena Williams is putting so much into her Wimbledon title quest that she appears to have missed daughter Olympia's first steps.

In the early hours of Saturday, Williams indicated that she had been in training when Olympia walked for the first time.

"She took her first steps ... I was training and missed it. I cried," she wrote on Twitter.

The 36-year-old American has brought Olympia to Wimbledon and last week a picture was posted on the child's Instagram account showing her on one of the All England Club's grass courts.

Williams was asked at Wimbledon on Friday about why she has given Olympia a public profile, given some fellow players keep their families out of the spotlight.

"I mean, it's 2018. I'm so modern," Williams said.

"For me, it was so natural. She's so fun. I just want to share those moments with everyone.

"We don't share a lot on her page, but we do share enough. It's just so cool."
