"I will be with Nadia when baby comes into world" - Mike Bryan on expecting child

18-time Grand Slam champion, Mike Bryan spoke about how he spends the quarantine and about expecting a baby.

The 41-years-old Mike had a really successful career. With his brother Bob, they managed to win 18 Grand Slam titles in doubles. Mike managed to win another 4 in mixed doubles. Moreover, Bryan brother managed to win also a Gold medal at the 2012 Olympics in London. Now, Mike spoke to ATPtour.com about how he spends the quarantine and also about expecting a baby with his wife Nadia.

"Although no-one wanted this fight with COVID-19 and its life-changing consequences, it’s proven to be an opportunity for me to slow down, be with Nadia and just savour these moments in the final days of her pregnancy. I have seen how much joy it has brought to Bob’s life and how his priorities have shifted. But it’s been far from a conventional countdown to the birth as baby basics like wipes and diapers have been stripped from store shelves," Bryan said.

"Nadia had a baby shower planned with 20 people and, obviously, that wasn’t a good idea, so we cancelled it. It is unfortunate she didn’t have that experience, but people out there are dealing with a lot worse. I know friends who are losing their jobs. They are living paycheque to paycheque. They don’t have a lot of savings, so this is devastating for them, they are all in our thoughts. While expectant dads at some hospitals are being excluded from delivery wards, I’m thankful to know that I will be with Nadia when baby Jake comes bouncing into the world because we’ll be using a birthing centre and midwife just a few miles from home," said Bryan.
