Azarenka is pregnant !!!

15 July 2016

Vika Azarenka is going through a rather “bizarre moment” in her life. The Belarusian recovered from a series of injuries to win back to back Indian Wells and Miami at the beginning of the year. At that point, Vika seemed to be poised to be the biggest threat for Serena Williams. Things got a different turn after Vika’s doctor told her that she was pregnant while she was recovering from a knee injury sustained at the Roland Garros.

Vika announced her pregnancy on her Facebook page and her Twitter account

Dear fans,

I have some exciting news to share with you.

It’s been a few weeks since you last heard from me. While recovering from the knee injury that I sustained at Roland Garros, I received news from my doctor that my boyfriend and I are going to become parents at the end of this year. We couldn’t be happier and feel very blessed to begin this exciting journey of building a family together.

While I will miss competing in the sport that I love this season, I am excited for all that’s ahead. I will take the time to improve myself in ways I’ve never been able to do before. I have been truly inspired by so many strong female athletes who return to the very top of their sport after having children, and I plan to do exactly that. There is nothing more special than becoming a parent, and I’m blessed to have so many examples of women, in every walk of life, who have pursued careers they love while raising children.

Thank you so much to my family, friends, team, and sponsors – your support and encouragement has been incredible.

And to my fans, I’m so looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you.

Victoria
