Jordanne Whiley, the Wimbledon wheelchair doubles champion, has announced she is expecting her first child.
The Paralympian was 11 weeks pregnant when she won Wimbledon with doubles partner Yui Kamiji earlier this month.
"So I had a little help at Wimbledon this year.. #13weeks #Baby," Whiley tweeted above a scan picture and a photo of a small tennis racket resting on a Wimbledon baby grow.
Whiley, 25, a 10-time grand slam champion and two-time Paralympic bronze medallist, told women's sport website The Mixed Zone: "It was planned. After Rio we decided we wanted a family. I thought, 'If we start trying in May I could still play Wimbledon', and it worked. But I had no idea how incredibly sick I'd be. I plan to come back in a year or 18 months. Obviously I'll have to see how I go. But I haven't ruled out the Tokyo Paralympics," she said.
"It's definitely possible for mums to be elite sportswomen,"she added.
