Caroline Wozniacki, the former world number one in women’s tennis, has announced her return to the sport after a three-year retirement.
The 32-year-old Danish player, who claimed victory in the Australian Open in 2018 and reached the finals of the US Open in 2009 and 2014, is set to make a comeback to the professional tennis circuit.
Her decision marks a significant development for her fans and the tennis community.
“I became a mother and now have two beautiful children I am so grateful for,” Wozniacki wrote on Twitter.
“But I still have goals I want to accomplish. We decided as a family it’s time. I’m coming back to play and I can’t wait.”
Wozniacki announced the birth of daughter Olivia in June 2021 and then son James in 2022.
She added: “I want to show my kids that you can pursue your dreams no matter your age or role.”
During the first stage of her career, Wozniacki won 30 tour-level titles, including one Grand Slam triumph when she beat Simona Halep in three sets in the 2018 Australian Open final.
At Wimbledon, she reached the last 16 on six occasions, but lost at that stage every time.
