Reunited: Serena Williams shares a tender moment with daughter Olympia on Monday, days after angry outburst at umpire during US Open final defeat
The tender loving moment comes after Serena had her prize money docked following her turbulent defeat in Saturday's women's final.
The American star, who lost 6-2, 6-4 to Japan's Naomi Osaka, was given a $17,000 fine for being given three separate code violations that resulted in her opponent being given a whole game.
This compares to her fortnight's prize money of $1.85million, and her official career earnings (without endorsements) of more than $88million.

Williams was heavily critical of umpire Carlos Ramos during her US Open final defeat
Her extraordinary rant overshadowed her 6-2, 6-4 loss to Naomi Osaka at Flushing Meadows
Williams was attempting to win her 24th Grand Slam singles title and equal the record of Australian legend Margaret Court. While many ex-players were supportive of her, and her suggestions that there was an element of sexism in Portuguese umpire Carlos Ramos's conduct, the outspoken Court was not among them.
'It's sad for the sport when a player tries to become bigger than the rules,' she told The Australian. 'Because the young player (Osaka) outplayed her in the first set, I think pressure got her more than anything.'
Andy Roddick, 2003 US Open champion, tweeted: 'Worst refereeing I've ever seen!'
Initially unhappy about being penalised for Patrick Mouratoglou coaching from the stands, Williams was then given a point penalty for smashing her racket before Ramos took a game away from her after she called him a 'thief'.
The American tennis great stated afterwards that it was 'sexist' for her to have been penalised a game.
During her post-match press conference, the 36-year-old said: 'I can't sit here and say I wouldn't say he's a thief, because I thought he took a game from me.
'But I've seen other men call other umpires several things. I'm here fighting for women's rights and for women's equality and for all kinds of stuff.
Williams was penalised after her coach Patrick Mouratoglou appeared to give signals
'For me to say 'thief' and for him to take a game, it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. He's never taken a game from a man because they said 'thief'. It blows my mind.
'I just feel like the fact that I have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions, and that wants to express themselves, and wants to be a strong woman.
'They're going to be allowed to do that because of today. Maybe it didn't work out for me, but it's going to work out for the next person.'
Saturday's rant was not the first on-court outburst of Serena's career. She clashed with umpire Mariana Alves during a 2004 US Open quarter-final against Jennifer Capriati.
Williams also received a violation for breaking her racket on the court at Flushing Meadows
Five years later at Flushing Meadows she threatened to shove a tennis ball down the throat of a line judge who called a foot fault against her. She was fined a record 82,500 dollars (£51,000) and put on a two-year probation.
Another fine was dished out at the 2011 US Open after Williams berated umpire Eva Asderaki, who had awarded a point against the American because she shouted 'Come on' mid-rally. Williams was furious and harangued Asderaki, calling the umpire 'a hater' and saying she was 'unattractive inside'. She was fined only $2,000 (£1,250).
Tennis legend Billie Jean King, who won 12 Grand Slam singles titles, including four US Opens, was among those who jumped to back Williams as the row escalated.
King said on Twitter: 'Several things went very wrong during the Women's Finals today.
'Coaching on every point should be allowed in tennis. It isn't, and as a result, a player was penalized for the actions of her coach. This should not happen.'
She picks up her racket after venting frustration with her serves and the way game was going
'When a woman is emotional, she's 'hysterical' and she's penalized for it. When a man does the same, he's 'outspoken' and there are no repercussions. Thank you, @serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same.'
Meanwhile, Mouratoglou admitted to ESPN that he had sent Williams a signal during the match — but claimed every coach does it.
Responding, Williams said: 'I literally just heard that too. I just texted Patrick because we don't have signals, we've never discussed signals. I want to clarify myself what he's talking about. I wasn't being coached.'
The row has completely overshadowed Osaka's maiden Grand Slam victory. Through all the chaos, the 20-year-old kept her nerve, and served it out with remarkable sangfroid despite the mayhem in the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
However, she was left in tears as her triumph was met with a chorus of boos, even if not directed at her.
The whole incident had been reminiscent of Williams's loss of control on the same arena when she threatened to ram a ball down a line judge's throat in 2009.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
