World’s former number one tennis star, Victoria Azarenka is also a very proud mother whose son has shown active interest in sports. Azarenka’s son Leo, who is going to be eight this year has a knack for hockey. Now, Azarenka as a mother might have loved his son following her path of legacy in tennis. However, this Belarusian tennis star’s fans know well that she is not at all a strict mother.

After winning the battle of custody with her ex-partner Billy McKeague, Azarenka was spotted enjoying quality NHL time with Leo in Canada. Previously fans applauded this young hockey prodigy, who showed his skills on Canada’s pitch impressing his talented tennis player mother very much. Now, the question arises, will Leo eventually take up tennis when he grows up?

From soccer to the NHL, Victoria Azarenka’s son Leo decided to follow his mother’s legacy in a different field

Victoria Azarenka’s frequent Canada visits with son Leo express the duo’s love for hockey. However, Last year November, Azarenka’s son stole the limelight by showing an impressive hockey skill playing beside NHL legends like Mathieu Joseph, Jonathan Huberdeau, and David Perron. The proud mother often spoke about her feelings regarding this.

Azarenka said in a press conference of the ongoing Australian Open- “I don’t see myself as much of I’m on the sidelines, but I feel like I have a front row to him. I’m a huge fan. Like, you should see me at his hockey games. I’m nuts. I will bring signs and I will support. I feel like everything that I’ve learned from around tennis, that I’ve seen parents who are pushy, who are negative and stuff, I feel like I’m being self-aware to try to do the opposite for my son.”

Now Azarenka’s statements express that as a mother she is commendable. The way she tries to encourage her son Leo to his interests is inspiring and motivational. Not just that, this Belarusian tennis star visibly expresses her support for her son’s sports talents without caring much about her image.

Victoria Azarenka surprised the fans by being a “crazy soccer mom” for her son Leo

Azarenka herself expressed a great love for soccer and especially the PSG team since its David Beckham days. However, this Belarusian tennis legend’s love for soccer eventually doubled when her son Leo expressed his wish to play for PSG in League One. Azarenka also mentioned her crazy feelings whenever she saw Leo playing the sport. In fact, this tennis star admitted that she acted like a “crazy soccer mom” at that time. However, Leo’s interest has shifted to hockey over soccer.

Victoria Azarenka’s son might choose tennis later. He is currently interested in hockey and loves the sport. Nevertheless, following his talented mother’s support, Leo will surely establish himself as a prominent rising star of a sport in the future.
