Lucas Pouille and Wife Clemence Expecting Baby

Lucas Pouille and his wife, Clemence announced on Instagram that they are expecting a baby.  A number of fellow tennis players including Novak Djokovic, Jack Sock, Karen Khachanov, and Jeremy Chardy congratulated the couple.

Pouille and Clemence married last year and just a days ago celebrated their first wedding anniversary.
