Billie Jean King Cup is witnessing the perfect version of ‘Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day’. Sometimes termed as Take Your Child to Work Day, it occurs on the fourth Thursday in April every year. From the former World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty to now former World N0. 57 Taylor Townsend, the tennis world gets adorned with tennis athletes’ kids, who in turn get glimpses of the bustling Tennis world. Townsend’s son, Adyn Aubrey, stole the show with “Uncle Benny ❤️” in “billiejeankingcup style!”

Reaching the US Open mixed doubles semifinal last year, Ben Shelton and Townsend’s partnership was a stunning show. This year, after winning the US Men’s Clay Court Championship against Tiafoe, when Shelton has time to catch a break, he is seen having fun alongside 3-year-old Adyn.
