"I don't feel like I'm as stressed anymore": Sense of freedom for Wozniacki ahead of US Open return

"I feel like there's some sort of a calmness that comes with the perspective of being a mom,” she said. "Having been away from the game for a while that I think you can't really replicate unless you've been through kind of the whole process of starting off really young, working your way through, then obviously coming back and knowing exactly what you need to do to get back to a very, very, very high level."

"I am obviously older and I feel like I have more of a, I don't know, clear pathway for myself also on the court, fitness, physical, all of that."

"But I also feel like I have a little bit more of a clear mind when it comes to off the court, whether that comes to sponsorship, whether that comes to kids because I don't feel like I'm as stressed anymore.”

Wozniacki has an impressive record while playing at Flashing Medows where she finished as a runner-up twice in her career — in 20019 and later in 2014.
