Some mothers do ‘ave ‘em at SW19
With Serena Williams an early departure, it’s Germany’s Tatjana Maria flying the flag for working mothers. The world No 103, who beat the fifth seed, Maria Sakkari, on Friday, has her two daughters in tow – eight-year-old Charlotte, and Cecilia who was born in April last year. Maria hopes reaching the fourth round for the first time will raise issues around childcare for tennis pros. “Now maybe more people are listening to me,” she said. “At the beginning when you come back as a mum it is not so easy to get help.”
