Lucie Safarova announced on Wednesday the birth of her daughter, Lea.

The 32-year-old retired from professional tennis following the 2019 Australian Open, citing health issues, following a career that had seen her win seven singles titles and 12 doubles crowns on the WTA Tour.

I really love what I do. I think you see it when I am on the court, when I do have the chance to compete, I really enjoy being there. I really have a great purpose for what I do,” she said after winning an exhibition match with Ajla Tomljanovic in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.

“I have goals and dreams for life after tennis, but I still have that internal fire and motivation. Really, all on my mind when I wake up is getting into my sports gear and going out and working to be a better tennis player.”
