Williams said that she would just get distracted and worry too much when her daughter would watch her play. 

"I just was worried I'd get distracted because I would be like, 'Wait is she drinking? Is she doing this?'"

"She came to a match once, like super brief, and I was like, 'Oh my God, is she wearing sun cream?"

"I would get stressed out and be like 'Wait a minute, oh my goodness I've got to serve,'" Williams laughed. 

Earlier this month, Williams announced her retirement and played her last match at the US Open against Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic.
