US Open 2020 has been a roller coaster ride. Even without fans, the tournament has been amazing. Especially on the women’s side, there are a lot of emotions. For the first time in history, we have three mothers in the quarterfinal of a Grand Slam in Serena Williams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/serena-williams/], Victoria Azarenka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/victoria-azarenka/], and Tsvetana Pironkova. Victoria Azarenka reached the quarterfinal after beating Karolína Muchováin in three sets yesterday. In her on-court interview [https://twitter.com/usopen/status/1303205077797150720?s=19], she revealed how motherhood has changed her overall approach to a match. Well, I think when you become a parent you have a sort of responsibility which you don’t have before. So you have to, you know, kind of respond to that and learn about yourself because for me I feel like it is not about me teaching Leo it’s like he continues to teach me things about myself. Azarenka said. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/management-team-clarifies-worries-around-victoria-azarenka.jpg] VICTORIA AZARENKA ON BEING AN EXAMPLE FOR HER SON Azarenka wants to be an example for her son. As a result, she is trying to perform well and have a cool and calm persona on the court. Her son is watching her from home and she can’t falter. “Sometimes it is like looking in the mirror with a face expressions and the actions that he does and I’m like, okay well, how about I change my own so I don’t see that from him. Because they are like sponges they take everything from us. Like even I’ll say one word and then he will repeat it,” she added. “So I have to be careful and for me, that perspective changing into on court is I want to be –do my best because my son is watching me now. He understands more So I need to be a good example if I want him to grow up having a good behavior and not breaking the rackets.” Victoria Azarenka [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/azarenko_s_synom-2017-332-1.jpg] Azarenka will next play 16th seed, Elise Mertens in the quarters. This will be the first meeting between the two. Vika is in a Grand Slam quarterfinal after 4 years and would love to take this run longer in front of her son.
