The Luxembourgish tennis ace is expected to give birth at the end of the year.

Minella will no longer compete in any tournaments until next year.

This season was supposed to be the final one for the Luxembourgish number 1, but she changed her mind after COVID-19 brought the season to an abrupt and premature end.

She is now set to pick up her racket after the birth of her second child.

The thirty-four-year-old could benefit from being in a "protected class" for twelve tournaments if she starts playing again in May 2021, helping her maintain her positioning in the ranking.
