After winning the first round of the tournament against Kateřina Siniaková, she took some time out of her busy tournament schedule to embrace her motherhood duties.

In the first story, Skai is seen playing with a water ball, trying to stop the water from coming out of it. But in the second story, the one-year-old was seen sitting in between her mother’s legs, enjoying the pool view with her mother. But that was not it. After playing with water, the 29-year-old tennis star shared a picture of her daughter playing with sand while she watched her from a distance.

From carrying parenthood responsibilities to the fullest, the couple every now and then is seen spending time with their little one. Not only that but even though making a comeback as a tennis mother is not an easy task, the Ukrainian was quick to figure out a way to become one of the most popular faces in the arena, after making a comeback as a wild card competitor.

While there are a lot of other things that come along with being a tennis mother, a few months ago, the 17th-ranked tennis player opened up about the heartbreaking reality of parenting. Along with that, she also discussed the second priority decision that comes with balancing tennis and motherhood.

Has motherhood changed Svitolina’s priority towards tennis? 

Last year, in a candidate interview, she opened up about how balancing both family and tennis is not an easy task. As a wife to ATP star Gael Monfils or as a mother, there are a lot of things that need to be sacrificed to keep things going. She stated, “It is really difficult, because you have to sacrifice something. I want to spend much more time with my daughter, but I have work, tennis, and media activities. ” 

Along with that, the 27-year-old tennis star highlighted that, after becoming a mother, tennis is her second priority, keeping her daughter in front. Not only that, she just took a seven-month break to embrace her new role as a new mother and then returned like a queen last year during Wimbledon.
