Motherhood is the best thing ever happened to me, says Victoria Azarenka
For Victoria Azarenka, motherhood has not been easy as she is currently involved in a bitter custody battle with her ex-boyfriend and her son's father. But the Belarusian has no regrets and in an interview to the Fed Cup website, she said: "I feel very happy that the stereotype of women in sport has been broken - that you can still have a family and you can still come back and play at a high level. I thought that everything was going to be a little bit of a fairytale, and it's not, but it's definitely the best thing that has happened to me. It's not easy, but I'm trying to find the balance, and hopefully, I'm trying to be a good example."
The 29-year-old who is a two-time Major winner, added: "I believe that tennis is a really amazing sport that teaches you a lot of tools to have in life...there's a lot of qualities that you can definitely benefit from. I would love for him to play a lot of sports, to learn different skills...I hope he has an opportunity to explore a lot of different things. That's my goal as a mom, to give him the opportunities to explore and for him to choose afterwards for himself."
Analyzing her 2018 Grand Slam results, Azarenka concluded: "It's really tough to think about as results, to assess that based on results, because results, I don't think I have had such results before. But in terms of everything that happened, I think, you know, me just playing and me being out there and fighting, today, I think I put on a great fight. I'm very happy with the way I approached the match. All that is positive. Being excited to go to the play, being excited to fight. Right now it's all pluses for me. As long as I put in the work in the offseason, I'll be lights out."
