A mother's love for their child doesn't disappear when she steps onto the tennis court. Victoria Azarenka, a first-time mother to one-year-old Leo, showed her love for her son by sporting his name on her gear during the Miami Open.

Specifically, her shoes and shirt were proudly displayed with Leo's name.

"I just put it there and I have it on my shirt, and I'm clearly the best No. 1 fan of my son, so it's just something, you know, to remind you—not really remind me but to keep close to my heart when I play," Azarenka said in Miami. "I thought it's fun."

Azarenka is just getting used to traveling on the tour with Leo in tow.

"I can't stand to be away from him at any moment. When he's with me sometimes I feel like, you know, I want to take a little second for myself, but then that second is over and then I just keep missing my son," the 28-year-old said. "I'm trying to find that balance. It's definitely a challenging thing to kind of focus on yourself, because I forgot about how to focus on myself since the day he was born."

Azarenka enjoyed a solid week in Miami in just her second tournament since Wimbledon, reaching the semifinals before falling to Sloane Stephens, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.
