A week after Naomi Osaka announced that she's expecting a baby girl, the baby boom on the WTA Tour isn't slowing down. On Monday, former Top 10 player Carla Suárez Navarro of Spain announced that she and her partner Olga García recently welcomed twin daughters, while American Amanda Anisimova revealed she's an aunt again.

Former world No. 6 Suárez Navarro announced her pregnancy in December, a little more than a year after she played her last professional tennis match. After overcoming Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2021, the Spaniard returned for a farewell tour that culminated in her being named that season's WTA Comeback Player of the Year.

As Roland Garros, the tournament where she reached two of her seven career major quarterfinals, rolled into its second week Monday, Suárez Navarro and García, a professional soccer player in Spain, announced that their family size doubled on June 2.

"Hello everyone! Finally, Noa and Ona are with us!" Suárez Navarro wrote on Twitter. "We are very happy to be a family of four! We start a new adventure full of happiness and love!"

"The feeling of bringing two girls into the world is indescribable, the enormous responsibility that they represent for us and the desire to see them grow by our side," Suárez Navarro added in a statement. "It is a day that we will never be able to forget, a moment that fills lots of affection and love."

Meanwhile, former Roland Garros semifinalist Anisimova shared that her elder sister, Maria, recently gave birth to a son, Kylo Zayn. The New Jersey native posted a series of photos of her cradling her new nephew, as his elder brother looks on.

The new addition to her immediate family is a bright spot of news for the 21-year-old American, who announced in last month that she'd be taking an indefinite break from tennis to deal with burnout.

"My sister blessed us with the two most precious boys ever, my heart is so full," Anisimova wrote.
