The 32 year old retired from tennis a few years ago to start a family

Caroline Wozniacki is set to make a comeback to tennis after the former world number one said she was ready to return to the Tour having retired from the sport in 2020 to start a family.

Danish player Wozniacki spent 71 weeks at the top of the world rankings and finished with 30 singles titles - including aGrand Slam crown at the Australian Open in 2018.

She announced her retirement prior to the 2020 Australian Open at the age of 29, saying she wanted to start a family with her husband, former NBA player David Lee.

She has since had a daughter Olivia and son James.

Wozniacki said she would first play at the Canadian Open in Montreal in August.

She's also targeting the US Open, but her long-term goal is the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
