"I hope more girls believe that this is possible": Svitolina shares admiration for Wozniacki in comeback, hopes story inspires others after having kids to return

Ukraine’s tennis star Elina Svitolina is optimistic that the return of the former world number one Caroline Wozniacki will encourage other women players to continue playing tennis at the highest level despite having kids.
Wozniacki is set to make a stunning return to the highest level after taking retirement back in 2020 to give more time to her family.
Svitolina was quoted in a report where she expressed ‘respect’ for the 33-year-old and believes that her return will encourage women tennis players to continue playing despite having kids.
"Yeah, I have a lot of respect for Caroline to come back after two,” she said. “It's really a big challenge, and she's a great fighter. I was not extremely surprised by her coming back because I feel like she wants to try again to accept this challenge for her personally, and I think it's a great one.
"Yeah, it's great that there is some girls after giving birth coming back. I think it takes a lot of strength and a lot of hard work to come back. Not only to be playing on tour, but also to the same level where you've been before.
"So, yeah, it's great. It shows, I think, also how women are -- how strong we are, and I hope that more girls also can believe that this is possible and then can also have a career after the baby.”
The 33-year-old has an impressive record while playing at the major events. She won her only Grand Slam back in 2018 in the Australian Open after defeating Simona Halep of Romania in the final with a score of 7–6(7–2), 3–6, 6–4.
Other than that, the Denish tennis star also finished runner-up twice in the US Open, first in 2009 and then in 2014.
