Happy 24th birthday, Christina McHale! While the world No.56 WTA player is busy getting ready for her second-round match against Ana Ivanovic at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, I'm here celebrating the American's birthday with you by sharing a bunch of lovely throwback pics.
Christina is the most prolific WTA player when it comes to posting childhood photos on Twitter and I've thoroughly enjoyed her posts, as all the photos are very different and each tells a super cute visual story.
When I first featured Christina in my Little Tennis Stars series, I mainly focused on the variety of sports she engaged in as a kid — baseball, soccer, swimming, tennis — while now I'm expanding the collection, exposing more of the American's early talents.
