Melbourne: Retired Chinese tennis woman player Li Na will soon be donning a new role in her life – of a mother.

The two-time Grand Slam winner announced Monday that she is expecting her first child, as per reports.

The announcement was met with thunderous cheers and applause from spectators in Rod Laver Arena where Li lifted the Australian Open title in 2014, her second Grand Slam championship since the French Open in 2011.

“I choose to share my secret here with fans from all over the world,” said Li.

“This summer, the first baby of Jiang Shan’s and mine will come to this world.”

“I can’t wait to have this new chapter in our lives,” she added.

The 32-year-old retired during last year’s China Open in October.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs.

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
