Minella has baby bump

LUXEMBOURG’S Mandy Minella is playing at Wimbledon while 4-1/2 months pregnant, it was reported yesterday, as the 31-year-old prepares to join Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka as a tennis mum.

Minella lost 1-6, 1-6 to Italian veteran Francesca Schiavone but she caught the eye with her loose-fitting dress covering a small bump. “Wimbledon is my last tournament this season,” Minella, whose baby is due at end of the year, told reporters.

The world No. 82 is also due to play women’s doubles with Latvia’s Anastasija Sevastova.

Defending champion Williams is expecting her first child in September and is sitting out the tournament this year.

Fellow former world No. 1 Azarenka only returned to the tour in June after giving birth to son Leo in December and reached the second round of Wimbledon on Monday evening.
