Although she probably would have preferred that her son take up tennis, Azarenka is not a strict parent. A favorite at the Montreal Open, the Russian player is set to play her opening bout in a matter of hours. But at the moment, the limelight is on another Azarenka. Leo, her son, is the center of focus in Canada. In the stadium, Leo showed off his hockey skills.

Fans and his mother, the former Australian Open champion, cheered him on as he played alongside NHL stars Jonathan Huberdeau, Mathieu Joseph and David Perron. The Canadian Open’ X’ page even lauded the seven-year-old for his show of skills. Even his mother lauded his efforts as she commented, “Here we go 🏒” on the appreciation post.

The Belarusian player is a big fan of soccer herself. Unlike many of the new followers, she has been supporting PSG since the days of David Beckham. Her fan behavior for the Parisian team has not wavered since then. The trend has continued in her family, as her son also supports the former team of Lionel Messi. In fact, Azarenka said that Leo wants to be a soccer player and play for the team in Ligue 1.
