Although she would prefer to be with him all the time, Azarenka admitted that she is a professional athlete and must occasionally put herself first.

“For me, the biggest challenge, I would say, was an emotional attachment, which is kind of carrying that guilt of having time for myself and plan my day to be sometimes a little bit selfish,” she said during an interview.

The former World No. 7 further continued, “I had a feeling that I don’t want to miss out on really anything when he’s growing up.” Although she appreciates the love and support that she receives from her family, motherhood still feels like a challenge to her.
