Carla Suarez Navarro announces pregnancy with her partner Olga
WTA
Carla Suarez Navarro retired from tennis last year, but the Spanish player is now opening a new chapter in her life as she expects to become a mother.
The 34-year-old Spaniard had a fairly successful tennis career. She has played in seven Grand Slam semi-finals, won two singles career WTA titles, and reached the career-high sixth place in the WTA Rankings.
She has won over 500 matches in her career and excelled in doubles as well as in singles, reaching the 2014 Roland Garros semi-final and a career-high ranking of No. 11 in doubles.
The sport has also brought her a lot of happiness. After she received a cancer diagnosis a few years ago, tennis helped her to remain positive. After defeating cancer, she finally had the chance to play tennis again, which is what she wanted.
After nearly two decades of competing, Suarez Navarro retired from tennis in 2021, and since then, she's been enjoying life away from the tennis courts. She said goodbye to the sport she loves on her own terms.
Now, she's looking to open a new chapter as she and her partner are set to become parents. Suarez Navarro and her partner Olga Garcia, who is a Spanish football player, have announced that they are expecting their first baby, and they made the announcement via social media.
"Let’s grow the family. Excited and happy to face this big moment. Very soon we will be one more."
It's certainly a very important moment for both, as it will change their lives forever. While Suarez Navarro will enjoy parenting already after her career, Garcia is still playing professionally.
Undoubtedly, it's very happy news for both of them, and the excitement was clear from their social media post. They posted two pictures to announce the news.
