When you love your job: Three months after giving birth, Mandy Minella ends baby break in Grenoble

There’s no stopping for the WTA ladies! Luxembourg’s Mandy Minella played Wimbledon while being four and a half months pregnant and the 32-year-old has now officially rejoined the competitive circuit, just a little over three months since giving birth to daughter Emma Lina.

The first stop in Minella’s return was a $25,000 ITF event in Grenoble, France, and even though the former world No.66, seeded second at the tournament, lost to France’s Fiona Ferro 6-2 6-4 in the first round, we have to praise her effort to get back to business so shortly after delivering a new life to this world.
