The network also said the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion -- who revealed she was pregnant in April -- was induced overnight.

Williams and her fiance, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, have said they plan to keep the sex of the baby a surprise until birth.

Williams plans to return to competitive tennis in January, to defend her Australian Open title, which she won while newly pregnant.

Her spokespeople were not immediately available for comment on the report.
