Welcome, Josefina! Barbora Strycova gives birth to second child

Barbora Strycova, the former doubles WTA No.1, has welcomed her second child, a baby girl named Josefina, into the world. The Czech tennis player, who retired for the second time last year shortly after winning the Wimbledon women’s doubles title, took to Instagram to share the delightful news, posting a heartwarming photo of her newborn wrapped snugly in a blanket. Notably, she included the hashtag “happy mother’s day,” hinting that the baby girl’s arrival coincided with May 12, Mother’s Day.
