Save the date! Serena Williams says she'll start planning wedding to Alexis Ohanian after Australian Open

Love might mean nothing in tennis, but off the court Serena Williams is feeling lots of emotions for her new fiance Alexis Ohanian. 
On Tuesday, the 33-year-old tennis star took time to talk about her engagement at a press event following her first match of the 2017 Australian Open. 
According to Us Weekly, when the Olympian was asked if she felt different after saying 'yes', she had a simple answer: 'It feels good.'
Although she has plenty of love for the Reddit co-founder, Serena didn't have many details to offer about the wedding, explaining her mind is focused on winning at the moment.
She told reporters: 'I really haven't thought about it too much, because I wasn't even really gonna think about it until after the tournament.
'So, I just keep saying, "February, I'll start looking at the bigger picture of my life" But right now, I’m just so focused that this is all I can think about.' 
It looks like her techie boyfriend is on the same page, letting tennis take priority for the time being.
Earlier today, the Reddit co-founder cheered on his lady during the tennis star's first match of the Australian Open.
The New York native must be good luck, as Serena secured the match with a resounding 6-4 6-3 win against Swiss player Belinda Bencic.
The power couple announced their engagement at the tail end of 2016, with Williams taking to Reddit to share the news in a thread titled 'I said yes.'
Serena used the platform again to give fans a peek at her fabulous ring early January.
In a post called 'Engagement shoe game', she showed off the massive rock while also sharing the spotlight with a pair of slick black and white Nikes.
This evening, the 21 time Grand Slam winner returns to the Australian court to dominate doubles with her sister Venus. Her second individual match of the tournament is yet to be scheduled.
