"We decided as a family it's time. I'm coming back to play and can't wait."

“Serena and I had dinner a few weeks ago, and when I told her my plan, she said, ‘Wow, good for you. I’m going to cheer you on every step of the way, and if you ever need anything, I’m here.’ She’s always been there,” said the 32-year-old.
The Dane also made known one of the motivations for returning to professional tennis.
“I talked with a lot of women who gave up on their dreams because they wanted to be with their families, but deep down they have this yearning...I want to show them there’s a way. I want to prove to myself and those women, you can have both.
“Men don’t have to retire to have a family. Roger Federer had four kids. Novak Djokovic two, Rafael Nadal one, and Andy Murray four. For women, it’s mostly been either/or. I’d like to be part of changing this. Victoria Azarenka, Kim Clijsters, and Serena Williams showed what it takes to return. It’s not easy, but possible,” said Wozniacki.
