My incredible fans and friends, who have supported me throughout my career des
erve to know why I may not be able to compete at the U.S Open this year.
The day my son Leo was born, back in December of last year, was by far the hap
piest day of my life. I now have a brand new appreciation for how new mothers
- and fathers – juggle the many different responsibilities for their families
. However, like most working mothers, despite my unconditional love for my son
, I am faced with a difficult situation which may not allow me to return to wo
rk right away.
In Belarus back in March, with my family in tow, I started working toward the
goal of returning to the tennis tour and competing at a high level by July 31s
t. I was able to return early, playing in Mallorca mid-June followed by Wimble
don.
Shortly after Wimbledon, Leo’s father and I separated and as we work to resol
ve some of the legal processes, the way things stand now is that the only way
I can play in the US Open this year is if I leave Leo behind in California, wh
ich I’m not willing to do.
Balancing child care and a career is not easy for any parent, but it is a chal
lenge I am willing to face and embrace. I want to support men and women everyw
here who know it is ok to be a working mother - or father. No one should ever
have to decide between a child and their career, we are strong enough to do bo
th.
I am incredibly grateful for all of the support I have received from women and
men around the world who recognize the importance of supporting working moms
and our right to be with our children. I look forward to hopefully having posi
tive developments soon so that this difficult situation can be resolved and I
can get back to competing. No parent should have to decide between their child
or their career.
I remain optimistic that in the coming days Leo’s father and I can put aside
any differences and take steps in the right direction to more effectively work
as a team and agree on an arrangement for all three of us to travel and for m
e to compete but, more importantly to ensure that Leo has a consistent presenc
e from both of his parents.
大体上解释她为何不能打美网
温网后跟前男友分手
并且进行小孩的官司
她必须待在加州照顾小孩
(也就是说如果要参加美网 就必须离开小孩）
以及分享这段生小孩以及训练的过程
要兼顾职业跟小孩不容易
她正在寻找平衡点

希望Vika能赶快度过这个难关~~
