After starting the year with a victory at the Australian Open, there is never a dull moment for tennis moms, as they are always up to talk about their kids. In the same way, during the post-match press conference, she opened up about how she turned into a super mom to cheer for her son during his soccer games. Not only that, she also detailed how she enjoys attending and has a lot of fun, saying he has grown into a little man.

She said, “I don’t see myself as much of I’m on the sidelines, but I feel like I have a front row to him. I’m a huge fan. Like, you should see me at his hockey games. I’m nuts. I will bring signs and I will support. I feel like everything that I’ve learned from around tennis, that l’ve seen parents who are pushy, who are negative and stuff, I feel like I’m being self-aware to try to do the opposite for my son.”

Further, she also highlighted how she wants to put in effort and be supportive as much as possible. Along with that, the former world number one mentioned how she talks to him a lot. But at the same time, she wants him to ask questions and be curious, just to understand if something goes wrong.
