The 2017 season has been a crazy year for Serena Williams. First, her 23rd Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, then a baby and a wedding, and now she gets a building named after her.

Nike announced that one of the buildings at its world headquarters in Oregon will be named after the new mother.

Williams is joined by two other sportsman who will also have structures named after them: former track-and-field athlete Sebastian Coe and basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski.
