The two-time Australian Open champion brought her son to practice with her. Victoria’s son, Leo, is a soccer lover but chose to support his mom ahead of the Grass Slam. While Azarenka served, his son returned, and he did a pretty good job at it! The kid only made one fault and hit all the balls quite well.

The tennis mom instructed her son how to hit the ball, and he obeyed. She said, “You have three chances. Turn, lower, and hit.” The video was captioned, “Some wholesome mother and son moments on court 🥰.” The thirty-three-year-old’s warm-up video caught the internet’s attention, and the followers loved every moment of it.

The comment section was filled with love and appreciation for the mother-son duo. But all was not so well when she had Leo. The champion went through a custody battle for her son.

The struggle behind the beautiful moments in Victoria Azarenka’s life

Azarenka decided to part ways with her then-husband, Billy McKeague, a former Hockey player and a current Golf coach. They split up in 2017, and Leo was only a few months old then. The Belarusian star fought for the custody of her son, and since then, Leo started accompanying his mom to all her matches.

The three-time US Open finalist also accompanied her son to soccer matches as her son loves playing soccer. Azarenka, who is always zen-like on the court, turns quite the opposite whenever her son plays. When she asked Leo if he had an issue with his mommy being loud in his matches, the seven-year-old revealed that he loves it when his mommy cheers for him and that he doesn’t mind even if she goes loud.
