Mother's Day salute: Vika and Serena to Sania and everyone in between

Leading into this Mother's Day, life has been turned upside down as we know it. For the WTA players who balance the workload required to be a world-class athlete with their responsibilities as a mom, they are not in the midst of a grueling European clay-court season.

In a period where identifying silver linings is more prevalent than ever, perhaps 2020 is the year loved ones make clear just how important matriarchs are to their every day life. We salute mothers everywhere, and honor the working moms on the WTA tour.
