In an interview with The Telegraph, Victoria Azarenka made a surprising revelation about what happened when she was pregnant with her son Leo, to whom she gave birth in December 2016. Azarenka had to leave some of her sponsors as she was unable to compete. "We left them. It did not come out publicly, but we’ll see. It’s in the past - I don’t feel like bringing that up is going to change that. Women need to keep fighting. We fight for equality every single day and I hope in the near future the demand for equality won’t be necessary. It will just be normal," said Azarenka, who made her comeback to the competition in 2017 Mallorca, June.
Azarenka continued: "I want to keep pushing the needle forward, and right now I think paid maternity leave is really important. For tennis players, with our physicality the way we’re making money there is a need to take the break for pregnancy. It is important - you need to feel secure for yourself to be able to have a family. Paid maternity leave is one of the biggest changes I would like to see because the WTA is the biggest women’s sport and has the opportunity to be a pioneer in that field. I hope we’re going to take that stance."
Azarenka will face the French player Alize Cornet on Monday in the first round at Wimbledon.
