Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki announced his return to professional sports after a 3.5-year hiatus.
The Dane previously retired in 2020. She is now married to American basketball player David Lee and the couple have two children.
– I spoke with many women who gave up on their dreams because they wanted to be with a family. But somewhere deep inside they have the desire to do something that fascinates them. I want to show these women that maybe there is a way. Of course, it’s not easy to find the right balance, but I think it’s real. And I want to prove it to myself and to these women.
I will play at the US Open. New York has an amazing vibe that I can’t get enough of and I’ve been playing it so well for years. Also, David was a New York Knicks player for five seasons, we both love him there. I’ll start playing (the tournament) in Montreal to pick up the pace, then we’ll all go to New York. After that I will have a few months to prepare for Australia and then we will act according to the situation. The Paris Olympics are definitely a goal too.
How long can I play at the highest level – one year, two or three years? I don’t know. But I know that in five years, when the children go to school, it will be too late. I’m not going to make bold predictions, but if I didn’t believe in myself, I wouldn’t. I’m too competitive to show up and not feel like I’m going to be one of the best players.
Am I nervous? Not really. I return to what I love. Yes, I will be nervous before the game, but I can handle it. Can I win the US Open or the Australian Open? Yes it’s possible. That’s why I do it. Let’s see what happens, — quotes Wozniacki Vogue.
The athlete also spoke about the support of another ex-first racket in the world, Serena Williams.
“Serena and I had dinner a few weeks ago, and when I told her about my plan, she just said, ‘Wow, well done! I will support you every step of the way, and if you need anything, I’m here,” Wozniacki added.
Wozniacki is the winner of 30 WTA singles tournaments, the tennis player is the champion of the Australian Open-2018. During her career, the Dane has won over $35 million in prize money.
