Serena Williams Exposes WTA’s Shameful Lack Of Maternity Leave Policy
When Serena Williams left women’s tennis last January to have her first child, she did so as the top-ranked player in the world. When she returned to the WTA this March after a 13-month break,Williams didn’t have a ranking at all.
Or, to use a real-world example, Williams went on maternity leave and came back to her job, only to find out she’d have to start from the bottom to get back to where she was.
Williams, currently ranked No. 491, lost on Wednesday to 20-year-old Naomi Osaka in an opening-round match in Miami, the second tournament of her return.
