It could be, but that's not what the rumors suggest that they are and it will be an announcement for Off-Court.

What they've announced still amounts to gossip though. So there's expected to be an official word from the couple.

There was a bit of surprise by the fans at Ostapenko's on court comments today.

^ That was from a couple of days ago after she beat Rebecca Marino in 3 sets, I believe, as she lost to Yastremska today.
And hopefully Yastremska said the same thing about Ostapenko today - Yastremska is certainly just as capable of these kinds of low class comments as is Ostapenko.

Ostapenko has every right in the world to say such things, and to have such an attitude.
And the rest of us have every right in the world to call her low class and disrespectful.

If so who do you think will win a lion's share of Slams in the next 5-7 years? Do you expect Swiatek and Osaka to win ca 10 Slams each then? Or maybe 15 almost random one Slam wonders?
I simply think that the WTA is entering an era where parity will reign. It's not going to be another 15 years of Serena-like - or even Navratilova/Evert-like - domination.
Therefore, the winners of Majors will be more evenly spread out with the current generation.
It could have been. We could have been in an Osaka-Iga era, but alas. I think Leylah and Coco have the appetite and heart for it. Those two and Iga are still very young. Just not sure if Leylah is physically strong enough to have Top 2 or 3 results week in and week out. Do you think she is? Can she be overpowered?

We also don't know when the next Iga or Fernandez will show up. Someone could bust out like Iga next year.
I think any physical weakness that Leylah may or may not have (real or perceived) is overcome by her desire.
That is to say that if she is lacking some physical strength as compared to other players, it is not of a great enough degree to not be compensated for (and then some) by her determination.

Two perfect examples of this are when she beat Osaka and Sabalenka days apart at the U.S. Open last year. Both Osaka and Sabalenka hit significantly harder than Leylah - but the difference in psychological strength between those two and Leylah was greater than the difference in physical strength between them.
Leylah has also beaten Pavlyuchenkova a couple of times - same sort of thing.

Tennis players don't typically hold press conferences to announce pregnancies, no?

Yastremska and Ostapenko are so much like each other..! on the court, anyway.. each must have felt like she was playing herself..

Well, confirmed. Rafa will play Wimbledon, and will be a father soon.

Why should they let her practice there? Because she's his girlfriend?

Plus, it is a private club.
Dennis is truly entitled. Can't say more.
