Vika Azarenka surprised everyone after she announced her pregnancy back in July.
The Belarussian seemed to be poised to dethrone Serena Williams as the new world no.1 at the beginning of 2016 after she won Brisbane, Indian Wells, and Miami. Vika disappointed only at the Australian Open after she had a fantastic start to crash in the quarters against the future champion and world no.1 Angelique Kerber.
Vika has not disclosed the date of her comeback as she wants to take things easily, but she was quite willing to share her feelings.
Sleeping in my bed is a luxury
Vika concedes that her life has changed completely to comment
“In theory, you know the process, but to actually go through that you truly start to deeply understand the magic of it. And it’s been quite a ride.
Being at home, sleeping in my own bed is really a luxury for a traveling athlete. I believe I still have a great opportunity to do what I love, and I love playing tennis. For me, it’s about getting to where I want to be and be back there again. That’s my ultimate goal.
I don’t to try put any time frame for myself. I would love to make it as soon as possible, but giving myself a reasonable time to fully recover and be ready. I’m not going to rush into anything, and it’s hard to tell before the birth actually happens.”
