Martina Hingis welcomes baby girl

Hingis, 38, revealed on Twitter that she and husband Harald Leemann, the Switzerland team's Fed Cup doctor, were now parents.

Paris: Former world No.1 and five-time Grand Slam title winner Martina Hingis Friday became the latest tennis mother after giving birth to a baby girl.

Hingis, 38, revealed on Twitter that she and husband Harald Leemann, the Switzerland team’s Fed Cup doctor, were now parents.

“And then we were three! Harry and I are excited to welcome our baby girl Lia to the world. We are already so in love,” tweeted the Swiss star who retired from the sport in 2017.

Fellow tennis mothers Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka are still active in the sport.

Like Hingis, Williams and Azarenka are former number ones and major winners.

They face each other at the Indian Wells tournament later Friday.
