Recently, Sharapova spoke about her life following the birth of her son, claiming that she was doing a number of things she did not expect to do, like getting up in the middle of the night and pumping during a board meeting.

"I didn't think it would ever be necessary to be awake before the child in the middle of the night, or that I would be pumping during a board call," wrote the 2006 US Open champion.
