The former world rankings-13. gave birth to her daughter Elisabeth in these days.

Congratulations, Elena Vesnina! The Russian double Olympic champion from 2016 has become mummy. That’s what she told Instagram on Tuesday.

“When you took your first breath, the air was gone,” she wrote under the photo.

Vesnina had only announced her pregnancy in autumn, but in terms of tennis she had disappeared from the scene since the French Open – where she had climbed to the top of the double world rankings for the first time despite a first-round defeat. Altogether Vesnina won three major titles in doubles: at the French Open 2013, at the US Open 2014 and at Wimbledon 2017.

She celebrated her biggest single victory in 2017 with the victory in Indian Wells.

If and when she will return to the court, she left open so far. Her “old” ranking allows her to freeze for up to three years due to her pregnancy.
