Serena Williams sees doctor, awaits MRI results




PARIS -- Serena Williams announced Tuesday she had received "super exciting" news regarding the chest muscle injury that forced her to withdraw from the French Open.

Williams withdrew shortly before her highly-anticipated fourth-round clash with Maria Sharapova at Roland Garros on Monday, citing a right pectoral injury that prevented her from serving. The American is expected to undergo an MRI scan in Paris on Tuesday but had seen one doctor earlier in the day.
"So today has been interesting already," Serena said via a story posted on her Instagram channel. "I just finished one exam with one doctor, and the news is actually super exciting, so I'm really happy about that.
"I'm having an MRI soon, but I wanted to keep you guys totally updated. Thanks for the support and love and understanding."
Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was competing at a major tournament for the first time in 16 months -- and for the first time since giving birth to her daughter, Olympia, in September.
"It's been incredibly frustrating, but also I'm excited because I feel like I've been playing really, really well and I can only go up," Williams said on Instagram. "And I'm looking so forward to going up. And hopefully you guys will be there to continue to cheer me on. I love you guys."

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
