Serena Williams is missing out on one of her favorite tournaments in Rome this week. While she's got to be feeling a little left out, it has given the 35-year-old expectant mother reason to share an epic "warm up" clip from a past trip to the WTA Premier event.
While Williams isn't in Rome, her family members are. Her mother Oracene has been spotted supporting Venus Williams.

While the 36-year-old is still focused full-time on the tour, she's got one eye on her future as an aunt.
Q. What are you looking for to most being an aunt?

The elder Williams sister is seeking her first Rome crown since winning it back in 1999.
