While the 2024 Olympic Games are sometime away, the impending return of Caroline Wozniacki saw her reveal that her intention was to play in Paris next year as a big reason behind her retirement U-turn.
After meeting up at Roland Garros, Denmark's current main hope in Holger Rune could form part of a dream team and Wozniacki in an interview with ESPN shared her hopes to play mixed doubles with him.
Rune was asked about it before Wimbledon and said: "For sure, If she want, I want." which Wozniacki responded to saying "It's great. Now we have it on tape."
All this will depend on where Wozniacki also places in the rankings on her return whether or not she claims the spot as she has stated she wants to play both doubles and singles.
She will begin her comeback quest nearly a year before at the US Open this Autumn and will play Montreal prior with the Australian Open also on her list.
She will likely also receive wildcards to further tournaments given her status as a former World No.1 and Grand Slam champion.
"For sure, If she want, I want," says Holger Rune to ESPN from #Wimbledon if he will play mixed doubles with Caroline Wozniacki, presumably at the Olympics in next summer. Says Wozniacki after hearing the soundbite- "It's great. Now we have it on tape."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
