Thursday night’s landmark “mother versus mother” match is rife with high-stakes subtext: Both the American Williams and the Belarusian Azarenka are Grand Slam champions and former world number ones who are striving for their first major titles since having children. Williams last won the Australian Open in 2017 while in the early days of pregnancy with her daughter, Alexis Olympia, who was born later that year. The tennis icon documented the grueling process of returning to the sport post-baby in her 2018 HBO docuseries Being Serena, including the demands on her postpartum body after nearly dying of a pulmonary embolism after childbirth, the pressure to stop breastfeeding to focus on training, and the wrenching process of leaving an infant to go back to work. Azarenka had her son, Leo, in 2016, and due to a custody battle with his father, was forced to miss several tournament starts through 2017. Like Williams, her last Grand Slam win was at the Australian Open, back in 2013.
Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka will make history at the U.S. Open on Thursday night as the first mothers to face off in a Grand Slam semifinal. It’s only the latest show of force from tennis’s most formidable mothers: A total of nine moms made the 2020 tournament’s main draw, and three of them—Williams, Azarenka, and Tsvetana Pironkova—played in this week’s crowd-less quarterfinals.
