In the 2020 US Open semifinals, tennis legends Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka faced off in a historic match as both players were mothers.

The two players put on a thrilling performance that showcased their resilience, determination, and skill, with Azarenka ultimately coming out on top to advance to the finals.

“I have a lot of good memories with the Williams sisters but honestly it all happened off the court. If I had to pick one in competition it would be the time we faced off with Serena when we were both moms.” Vika said.

Azarenka’s comments serve as a reminder of the impact that motherhood can have on athletes, particularly in a sport as physically and mentally demanding as tennis. Both Azarenka and Williams have been vocal advocates for working mothers and have inspired countless fans around the world with their achievements on and off the court.
