Azarenka recruits ball girl to help her practice

The new mother certainly has a way with the kids.

Published Jul 05, 2017

Midway through her 6-3, 6-3 Wimbledon second-round win over Elena Vesnina on Wednesday, Victoria Azarenka needed a way to stay sharp during the Russian's medical timeout.

Often times, the players that are waiting do some jumping around or hit a few serves, but Azarenka wanted more. She recruited a ball girl to feed her some backhands, which the girl did with the customary Wimbledon overhand throw.

Azarenka, who just had her first child in December, certainly has a way with children as the moment is one of the cutest of the Slam so far.
