Azarenka enjoys winning first title as a mom

Victoria Azarenka walked off with the Western & Southern Open trophy without playing a point on Saturday. Her opponent Naomi Osaka withdrew with a hamstring injury, forfeiting the title to the Belarusian.

It's Azarenka's first title since 2016 and first since having her son Leo in December of that year which saw her finish a stellar season at No. 5 in the world.

She'll return to the Top 30 in the rankings on Monday for the first time since March of 2017.

"It's pretty significant; it's my first title as a mom," Azarenka said in press. "I haven't even thought about it. So that makes it special. That part is special for me."

Azarenka has won the unique trophy before, though it was actually in Cincinnati back in 2013.

Her three-year-old is well aware of what his mom does for a living.

"He's known for a while what I do," the 31-year-old said. "When he sees tennis courts or sees tennis on TV or something, he's, like, Mama, Mama, Mama. He's started his tennis lessons, so he's more educated in the tennis world now."

While much of the focus has been on how players are adapting to the new normal in a pandemic world, the children of players are also living the bubble lifestyle.

"How he's adapting? He's OK," Azarenka said. "I feel like he just needs people to play with. He needs other kids to play with. I think he's kind of getting a little bit sick of all of us adults."
