Alongside the hashtag "Baby Townsend 2021," the athlete shared a video that reflected on her career and everything she has overcome.

"At 4 years old I was told I would never make it and I should quit. At 12 I became the youngest-ever to win the Georgia state qualifier," she says in a voice-over. "At 15 I didn't think I was good enough, but I proved myself wrong by winning the junior Australian Open in singles and in doubles."

"I'm sure this won't be any different, so I'll have to prove them wrong again," she added.
