Tatjana Maria’s Daughter Charlotte Maria Embarks on Tournament Journey Without Her No. 1 Fan
Ten-year-old Charlotte Maria, daughter of WTA star Tatjana Maria, is set to make her tournament debut without her biggest supporter in the stands. Her mother, Tatjana, is currently competing in the Mutua Madrid Open, where she recently emerged victorious in a thrilling three-set battle against Peyton Stearns.
Despite her absence, Tatjana expressed her excitement for her daughter’s tournament participation. “She’s super excited to play,” she said. “She plays under-12 over there, with all the best little kids from around the world. It’s super special and she really enjoys it.”
Tatjana’s victory over Stearns means she will miss Charlotte’s first match, but she plans to follow her progress closely through live scores. “I’m pretty nervous already, but she’s so excited,” said Maria, who has reached a career-high ranking of No. 42 this season.
Charlotte Maria, like her mother, possesses a versatile game. “She has a two-handed backhand,” Tatjana explained. “She loves volleys and drop shots, and of course, she can play slice. It would be sad if she couldn’t!”
Tatjana’s next challenge will be against another successful WTA mom, Victoria Azarenka, in the second round of the Madrid Open. Meanwhile, Charlotte Maria will strive to make her mark in her first tournament, carrying the legacy of her talented mother.
