Was lucky enough to grab myself a copy of the new tennis magazine, Bagel, from a friend of mine who is very invested in tennis! It was great to see a piece focusing on ‘Mums On Tour’.
With Naomi Osaka, Caroline Wozniacki and Elina Svitolina among some of the big names making comebacks after giving birth, this piece looks at what exactly makes tennis such a leading sport when it comes to helping mothers back to elite competition.

Most mums with the right return to performance will come back stronger, but the system of sport is just not set up very well to make this happen - beyond the top super stars, who have the negotiating power to recreate their system without fear of losing funding or selection. So it’s great to see conversations happening, which might be some food for thought for sporting bodies.
