After the women's singles final of the WTA250 Bogotá, maria, a mother-level player who won the championship, quickly rushed to the side of the court and hugged her child and husband tightly, giving the impression that she had won a Grand Slam title.
In fact, although Maria did not say why she was so excited, from the time she brought her child to the arena to watch her own game, the purpose was very clear, hoping that the child would see her realize her dream of winning the championship and set an example for the child. Although this is only the second crown of her career.
How difficult it is for female players to have children and return to the field, and how difficult it is to win the championship, I believe that no one has a deeper understanding than Empress Serena.
After winning the 2017 Australian Open, Serena became pregnant and gave birth. After a brief adjustment, Serena quickly returned to the training ground. When she felt that her body was almost recovered, she immediately returned to the competitive WTA Tour.
In the eyes of many people, Serena is in such a hurry to make a comeback, just to tie Margaret Court's 24-time Grand Slam title record as soon as possible and satisfy his ambitions.
However, in addition to this goal, XiaoWei has also admitted that she has won enough, even if she retires, there is nothing to regret, the reason why she insists on the purpose is to let her daughter be able to witness her glory moments, can do things that others can't do, and let her daughter follow her own example from now on.
In order to set an example for her daughter, how much bitterness and pain Xiao wei endured in the process has always been clearly visible to the outside world. She reached the Grand Slam finals four times, all of which were swept away by girls younger than herself. From the absolute heroine in the original Grand Slam final, to a supporting role, this identity gap, bitterness on Serena's face is fully displayed.
However, Serena did not give up, repeatedly lost battles, and finally won the championship at the 2020 Auckland ASB Classic, and finally let her three-year-old daughter witness the moment when she lifted the championship trophy for the first time.
Compared with Serena Williams, the 32-year-old mother-level player Azarenka is currently in a more difficult situation.
Originally, when Azarenka gave birth to a child, he might have ruled the women's tennis world, but because of an unexpected pregnancy, this heavenly opportunity slipped away in vain.
When she returned to the court after giving birth, Azarenka suddenly felt that the children off the field had lost nearly half of her concentration, and that the self that had always been able to shock her opponents in screams was gone.
Like Xiaowei, Aza continues to play, in addition to her love for the tennis career, in her own words, hoping to let her son see his mother's hard work and hard work on the court, so that he can feel what kind of rewards will be paid for his efforts from an early age.
After a woman has a child, she will have a more or less impact on her physical functioning, as can be seen from the time of Alenka's initial comeback, who has been struggling to find a state in the arena.
Azarenka is not short of money. As a former world number one and Grand Slam champion, Azarenka's professional bonuses and business endorsement income combined, as long as she does not splurge, should be enough for her and her son to live comfortably, without any problems.
Aza did not choose to return to the family, focusing on taking care of the children, but also hoping that the children would be able to witness her greatness in the process of growing up.
Unfortunately, fate does not seem to be particularly concerned about Azarenka, after the comeback not only a crown is difficult to find, but this year it is because of problems in the state and performance of the tour, there have been great emotional fluctuations, and several tears have been spilled on the field.
In addition to Serena and Azarenka, there was Christers.
After her second comeback to win a Grand Slam title, Christers' child was still young at the time, making her think that her child witnessing her victory may have been less impressive now. At the end of 2019, she chose to make a comeback, hoping that the children who have grown up can see from themselves the spirit of dreaming to chase and never give up, and at the same time witness her glorious moments again.
Only this time, Christers failed to create a miracle, returning to participate in the five games, and one win was difficult to find.
Christers, who is still willful, simply no longer insists, allowing the child to relive her former glory in his championship trophy.
It's hard to be a woman, and it's even harder to be a mother-level female player. Even if Empress Serena, Akalenka and Christus can't return to their former peaks after their comeback, some people choose to continue to insist, and some people choose to turn around and leave. But their spirit of setting an example for their children has long since surpassed the champions themselves. Even if they are really completely destroyed, it is worth giving them a big thumbs up.
