Caroline Wozniacki has always liked to surprise her opponents. This Thursday, the 32-year-old Dane once again took everyone by surprise by announcing her big return to the professional circuit. The former number 1 announced it on social networks.
“During the last three years away from tennis, I had the chance to make up for lost time with my family, I became a mother of two beautiful children and I am grateful for that. But I still have goals that I want to accomplish. I want to show my kids that you can chase your dreams regardless of age or role. We decided as a family that it was time. I’m coming back to play on the circuit and I’m in a hurry! “wrote the Scandinavian with a photo of Vogue with her children on a tennis court.
Everything had however stopped for her in January 2020 after a premature exit with a defeat against the Tunisian, Ons Jabeur in the 3rd round. In physical difficulty due to an inflammatory and chronic joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Wozniacki also and above all wanted babies.
Over these past three years away from the game I got to make up for lost time with my family, I became a mother and now have two beautiful children I am so grateful for. But I still have goals I want to accomplish. I want to show my kids that you can pursue your dreams no matter… pic.twitter.com/OQatFWxQGK

In Vogue magazine, she explains that she resumed training at the end of last year after the birth of her son. “I’ll start by playing in Montreal just to get back into the rhythm of the competition, and then we’ll all go to New York. After that, I will have two or three months to prepare for Australia, and so on. The Paris Olympics are really a goal too, ”she assures Vogue.
The winner of the 2018 Australian Open is expected at the WTA 1000 in Montreal (from August 7 to 13) then at the US Open (from August 28 to September 10). To participate in these two meetings, Caroline Wozniacki should benefit from an invitation since she is obviously no longer ranked.
Quite confident, the Dane does not imagine coming back to do extras. Quite the contrary. “Can I win the US Open? I think so. Can I win the Australian Open? I think so. That’s why I come back. And we’ll see what happens. I think it’s a great story,” she said.
