Overview
- Maria won her Wimbledon first-round match 6-4, 6-4 over Julia Putinzewa and is scheduled to meet Iva Jovic in the second round.
- The 38-year-old, ranked around No. 96, says her clear goal is to remain on tour through about 2028 so Charlotte can join the WTA and they can play doubles together.
- Charlotte trains regularly with tour players and has practiced with top players including Aryna Sabalenka, evidence that her development is accelerating.
- The family travels and trains as a unit with husband Charles-Édouard acting as coach, which Maria says makes the logistics of dual careers feasible.
- Maria’s underspin slice game and recent grass success, including a surprise Queen’s Club title in 2025, help her stay competitive while the family plans account for WTA age rules that limit a 14-year-old’s early events.
