A similar awe-struck moment was noted back in 2018. Serena Williams made her comeback only after three months of giving birth to Olympia. Maybe she would have come back sooner, had it not been the life-threatening childbirth.
Apart from these two tennis stars, we saw Elina Svitolina putting up an amazing performance at Wimbledon where she took down world no. 1 Iga Swiatek. Moreover, she did it after making a comeback after six months of giving birth to her daughter, Skai.
Osaka, however, has come back sooner on the court than any other WTA player after giving birth. This is something she had reiterated even after giving birth to her daughter.
