After the three-time Olympic champion fought to become a mother, Puig succeeded Serena Williams and Bencic

The Olympic tennis gold medalist has once again become the object of intense attention, thanks to the singles gold medalist of the Rio Olympics Puig!



Until now, everyone has been amazed by Puig's legendary tennis experience!


Before she won the singles gold medal at the Rio Olympics, almost no one knew who the Puerto Rican girl was. Puig's presence is so low because she doesn't have any achievements.


But the 2016 Olympics in Rio changed Puig's fortunes overnight. The little-known Puerto Rican girl made her debut in the singles tennis at the Olympics, and despite playing hard, no one expected her to make a difference at the Games. At that time, when speculating on the winner of the championship, many people were more optimistic about the likes of Muguruza, Kvitova and Kerber.



And what unexpectedly attracted everyone's attention in the end was that she knocked out the two Grand Slam champions Muguruza and Kvitova in succession, and reached the Olympic tennis women's singles final in one fell swoop.


Although Puig was in a burst of form at the time, after seeing that her opponent in the final was the German star Kerber, almost everyone thought that she was desperately trying to kill masters like Muguruza and Kvitova, which was equivalent to clearing the obstacles for Kerber in advance, and she would definitely be swept by the German star who was also in hot form, and in the end she would work hard in vain.


Just when everyone thought that Kerber's Olympic tennis singles gold medal was stable, Puig didn't expect to defeat the German star through three sets of hard fighting, and finally defeated the German star by sending fritters, winning the first Olympic gold medal for Puerto Rico, becoming the lowest-ranked player to win gold in tennis at the previous Olympic Games, making everyone remember this girl with a tough personality and a particularly sweet smile, and quickly became famous.



At that time, the outside world's evaluation of Puig was: If you don't make a hit, it's just a blockbuster. Frankly beating three Grand Slam champions in a row to win this gold-filled Olympic gold medal, the Puerto Rican girl has been reborn and will definitely make a big difference in the tennis world in the future.


Surprisingly, the Rio gold medal seemed to have exhausted Puig's power, and instead of making a strong rise in tennis with this Olympic singles gold medal, the Puerto Rican girl returned to her original position after finishing runner-up in Luxembourg in 2017 before retiring in June 2022 due to injury.


After retiring as a player, Puig fulfilled her promise that "it's not goodbye, it's goodbye" and went on to become the host of the tennis channel Destination Tennis, a great comfort to many of those who loved her.



Recently, Puig, who has not appeared for a long time, announced through his personal social media that he is pregnant and revealed that he is a daughter.


After Puig's imminent upgrade to becoming a mother was disclosed by the media, her social media comment area instantly collapsed, and when fans and netizens sent her blessings, some people even ridiculed that Zheng Qinwen's previous three-time Olympic tennis singles gold medalist motherly love was overflowing, "One by one is vying to be a mother, and no one wants to be left behind." ”



London 2012 singles gold medallist and queen Williams is pregnant in the same way as her queen's title, which is indeed very domineering.


knew that she was pregnant, but she made her debut at the 2017 Australian Open without telling everyone, and finally not only reached the final, but also defeated her sister Dawei in the final, lifting the 23rd Grand Slam championship trophy of her career.


It can be said that Serena Williams has set a precedent for the recent Olympic tennis women's singles gold medalists to get pregnant and give birth to children, and now she has become a mother of two children.



The 2020 Tokyo Olympics women's singles gold medalist Bencic became a mother, which also surprised the outside world.


After qualifying for the 2023 Zhuhai Junior Year-End Tournament, the news of Bencic's sudden withdrawal was a big surprise, and it was later learned that the Tokyo Olympic gold medallist was pregnant.


After giving birth, Bencic has returned to tennis in the new season of 2025, not only did not give birth to a child caused a significant decline in form, but quickly regained his old feel, the Australian Open reached the fourth round, and even in the Abu Dhabi 500 tournament that started this week, when facing the Russian star Kudermetova, following the 2015 Tokyo match, and in the way of sending eggs, created the Abu Dhabi bloodshed that shocked public opinion, which makes people very optimistic that she can become the second Clijsters in the tennis world.



Now Puig has also announced that she will welcome her daughter this year, making her the third Olympic gold medalist to have a child in recent years. It's a pity that Puig is a child born after retiring, and if the active duty reveals that she is about to be upgraded to become a mother, it is estimated that more people will look forward to her comeback.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
