A grand total of nine mothers were
present in round one of the 2020 US Open of which Victoria Azarenka is among
and she has hailed the women who are competing in the WTA tour and are still
juggling their motherhood and their tennis ambitions.
In a statement, the mother of a
three-year old said, “There is a lot that goes into it in terms of balancing
and juggling two things. But identifying myself or other players just as
mothers, I think that is not the only thing that we are. We are also tennis
players. We are also women who have dreams and goals and passion.”
“I think to see that rise of women
being able to fulfill their dream as well as balancing motherhood, I think they
all are heroes. I really really appreciate all of them and I hope this
continues to go on, where women are inspired to do what they love to do but
still being able to go after what they want.”
Azarenka blitzed past Aryna
Sabalenka in a 6-1 6-3 victory in the second round.
