PHONE-IN: NEW PARENT ADVICE
Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka has announced she is pregnant. The Japanese former world number one withdrew from the Australian Open earlier this week, having not played since September.
“2023 will be a year that’ll be full of lessons for me” said Osaka, adding that she hopes to return in 2024. “One thing I am looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom’.”

As well as Naomi of course Connie is pregnant too and finishes up today to have the baby.
