Victoria Azarenka shared a photo on Instagram with her son Leo along with an emotional message.
The Belarusian tennis player will be competing this week at the DC Open after her run at Wimbledon, where she reached the fourth round but was eliminated by Ukrainian Elina Svitolina in a controversial match that resulted in the crowd booing Azarenka.
As 'Vichka' prepares in Washington, she has been seen on the training courts with her son Leo, who often accompanies her on the WTA tour. The former world No. 1 gave birth to her son in 2016 and was away from tournaments in 2017 amid a custody battle for her son, which she eventually won.
In an image embracing her son Leo, the athlete who turns 34 on July 31st left a heartfelt caption on her Instagram post.
“I may not be perfect, but when I look at my son I know that I got something in my life perfectly right ❤️,” Azarenka wrote.
Azarenka had a tough exit at Wimbledon, losing to Svitolina 6-2, 4-6, 6-7(9) with the crowd clearly favoring the Ukrainian player. After the match, Svitolina approached the umpire directly to avoid the handshake, as she has decided not to shake hands with Russian or Belarusian players due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The 2-time Grand Slam champion also avoided Svitolina to prevent an uncomfortable situation, but the crowd interpreted it in a negative way and responded with boos
“I can’t control the crowd. I’m not sure that a lot of people were understanding what’s happening.”
“It wasn’t fair. It is what it is. What can I do?” Azarenka said.
The WTA 500 Washington will feature a new clash between Svitolina and Azarenka, this time in the first round of the tournament. The head-to-head record is currently led by the Belarusian with a 5-1 advantage, with her only loss coming at Wimbledon a few weeks ago.
