How fitting: On the final day of the US Open, tennis player Sabine Lisicki announced that she had given birth to her first child.
Shortly before her 35th birthday, tennis player Sabine Lisicki (34) has already received her best present. She announced on Monday night (September 9th) that she has become a mother for the first time.
“Our hearts are filled with love and happiness as we are honored to welcome Bella into our world,” she wrote in her post, revealing her daughter’s name. She also posted a photo of her and her partner holding the child’s head in their hands. Lisicki is keeping the father of the child a secret. From the end of 2013 to the beginning of 2016, she was in a relationship with comedian Oliver Pocher (46).
All that is known about her current partner is that he does not come from the tennis business. However, the couple is already engaged: “My boyfriend fell to his knees, it was a beautiful ritual. And since then I have had a beautiful piece of jewelry on my finger,” she said in July.
In it, the 2013 Wimbledon finalist also revealed that the baby was an absolute dream child: “I’m really happy because I’m a complete family person. It’s always been my dream to have my own family,” she enthused. There is “nothing greater” than being pregnant. “I love children,” the professional athlete made clear. However, pregnancy is also “hard work” and “a physical challenge.” For example, she struggled with unusual tiredness.
Return to the tennis court is already planned
After the birth, she wants to return to professional sport. “Yes, there will be a comeback,” she confirmed to “Bunte”. But it is important “that I am physically well and totally fit.” She had to take a long break due to a knee injury, but then made her comeback in 2022. She played for the last time in December 2023 in Dubai.
On the birth of her daughter, Lisicki immediately received congratulations from tennis colleagues such as former national coach Barbara Rittner (51) and player Eva Lys (22). German model Franziska Knuppe (49) also welcomed Bella via an Instagram comment.
