Current world number six, Victoria Azarenka, has confirmed that she will be taking a break from Tennis after she revealed that she's pregnant on Friday.
Two-time Australian Open winner said she was excited she'll soon be a mother, adding that she plans to return to top tennis at the end of the year.
The 26-year-old Belarusian discovered she was pregnant while she was recuperating from a knee injury she picked up in the first-round match against Italian Karin Knapp at the French Open in May.
"We couldn't be happier and feel very blessed to begin this exciting journey," said the world number six.
"I have been truly inspired by so many strong female athletes who return to the very top of their sport after having children, and I plan to do exactly that."
Azarenka was Australian Open champion in 2012 and 2013 and a beaten US Open finalist in the same years. BBC
