Three-time Grand Slam champion, 2016 Olympic doubles champion Elena Vesnin explained why she decided to return to her career after the birth of her second child.
On Thursday, Vesnina, 37, announced the resumption of her playing career. In May 2023, the tennis player gave birth to her second daughter.
— This news is unexpected even for me. I didn’t think I could make this decision. But after I started training and realized that I still had a “frozen” rating, it turned out that… The WTA gave me this good news: I still have a frozen rating and I can use it. So, before the Olympics, I decided to give it a try. I think with such luck, we can take advantage of it. Moreover, when you have the strength, you have the motivation, you want to play, try yourself – perform such a unique Last Dance (“Last Dance”) and then say goodbye – end your career as it should, – quotes Vesnina the words “Championship”.
Vesnina won gold at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in doubles and also became a silver medalist at the Tokyo Olympics in mixed doubles.
The athlete gave birth to her first daughter in November 2018.
