Victoria Azarenka recently talked about her son Leo's interest in football. Speaking to the press at the Australian Open earlier this year, the Belarusian stated that her son's biggest dream is to play for French football club Paris St. Germain.

"Leo is extremely into football now," Azarenka said. "I call it football, he calls it soccer - we have this debate. He wants to play in Paris St. Germain, that's his dream. I'm a soccer mom now and I love that."

Azarenka also joked that she has become an "obnoxious" soccer mom, supporting Leo in his dreams with "no shame."

"I'm obnoxious, like absolutely the most obnoxious. It's a completely different emotion for me to support my son. I have no shame in screaming for him, like zero. But I'm very supportive. I want him to do well. I want him to achieve his dreams," she added.

On the tennis side of things, Victoria Azarenka commenced her clay season at the Charleston Open. She registered a comeback win over Sloane Stephens before losing to Anna Kalinskaya in the third round.

Azarenka is yet to announce where she will be playing next, but it will most likely be at the Madrid Open.
