“No Shame in Screaming for Him” – ‘Obnoxious’ Mom Victoria Azarenka Supportive of 6-Year-Old Son, Who Wants to Play for Lionel Messi’s $3.2 Billion Team

Victoria Azarenka, a few days back, opened up on how soccer has become an integral part of her life. The two-time Australian Open champion’s son Leo has opted for soccer and wants to play for French giants one day.

Azarenka and Leo are fans of the Ligue1 champions PSG, and the tennis mom is always on the sidelines whenever her son plays soccer. She screams for him on the sidelines and doesn’t feel any shame for it, as she wants her son to achieve his soccer dreams. 

Victoria Azarenka wants her son to achieve his dreams

The two-time Australian Open winner started following the Parisians when English superstar David Beckham played for them. Beckham was at PSG for the half-season in 2013, and it was sufficient for the Belarusian to support PSG. It has been ten years now, and Azarenka has been supporting the Parisians. 

Azarenka’s son has carried the trend of his mom supporting PSG and has a dream of playing for the club one day. Azarenka said, “He wants to play in Paris St Germain, that’s his dream. I’m a soccer mom now and I love that. I’m obnoxious, like absolutely the most obnoxious.”

“It’s a completely different emotion for me to support my son. I have no shame in screaming for him, like zero. But I’m very supportive. I want him to do well, I want him to achieve his dreams,” added the Belarusian. Azarenka, after splitting up with her partner, has custody of her son, who accompanies the tennis star on the tours. It’s a soccer vs football debate between the two. Leo calls the sport soccer, while Azarenka refers to it as football.  

Azarenka is at the Australian Open 2023 and has advanced to the fourth round. She is currently taking on Chinese Zhu Lin in the fourth round of this season’s grand slam opener.

The Belarusian tennis star beat the Chinese Zhu Lin in the fourth round in three sets. She won 1-6, 6-4, and 6-1 in the crucial game to make it to the quarterfinal of the Australian Open for the first time since 2016. It will also be the first quarterfinal of any Grand Slam after the US Open in 2020.

Azarenka made a brilliant comeback despite going down to the Chinese in the first set. She will hope to continue the winning streak to win the Australian Open for the first time after 2013. Let us know your thoughts on her current campaign. How far will she go?
