Former tennis world number one Caroline Wozniacki is back three years after retiring. She's announced
that she was retiring before the 2020 Australian Open. She was 29 then saying she wanted to start
a family with her husband the former NBA player David Lee. She's since had a daughter Olivia and
son James. Now at the age of 32 she says she's ready to return to tennis. She says she wants
to play at the Canadian Open in August and has been given a wildcard entry to the US Open.
In an interview with Vogue Wozniacki said 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'm
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 your age or role. We decided as a family it's time. I'm coming back
to play and I can't wait. Wozniacki has been a losing finalist twice at the US Open so now she's
going to have another chance. The tournament's going to be shown live on Sky Sports and for the
first time viewers will be able to watch coverage of every court. Sky Sports has also announced its
broadcasting team which will include the former British number one Tim Henman and 18-time Grand
Slam champion Martina Navratilova. The coverage will be fronted by Gigi Sama.
