He is doing well and anticipates being discharged soon.”

“In the coming days, as he always has, Montel will tell his story himself. Until then, we respectfully ask that his family’s privacy be respected,” the statement continued. “The Williams family will be forever grateful for the quick response from [New York City Fire Department] and the excellent care he has received.”

She's back and better than ever for the French Open. The 36-year-old unseeded tennis star beat No. 17 seed Ashleigh Barty in the second round of the French Open on Thursday. Serena won 3–6, 6–3, 6–4 to advance to the third round, which could possibly set her up for a match up against Maria Sharapova in the French Open last 16.
