Lindsay is a three-time grand slamp champion and an Olympic gold medalist. She has won over 80 titles (singles and doubles combined).
She is the mother of a 13-month old boy, Jagger Jonathan Leach.
After finding out she was pregnant, Lindsay took a year off so she could enjoy the experience of motherhood. Six weeks after giving birth she participated in a one-night exhibition. Six weeks after that, she played in her first tournament and won.
So far, Lindsay says she's been able to find the right balance between being on tour and having a family. She can relate to many of the same struggles other working moms face.
You can see Lindsay compete in the Bank of the West Classic this week at Stanford in Palo Alto.
