Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki is set to return to the court after a long break and can face a feisty opponent in the National Bank Open.
The 33-year-old has not played professional tennis for a while after announcing retirement back in 2020.
Wozniacki is set to face the current Wimbledon champion Czech Republic’s Marketa Vondrousova in the second round of the competition.
Vondrousova, who lifted her maiden Grand Slam title after beating Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur in the final with a score of 6-4, 6-4, will face Mayar Sherif of Egypt in the opening round of the competition.
Wozniacki has an impressive record at the highest level where she ended up lifting one Grand Slam in her career which was back in 2018 when she defeated the former world number one Romania’s Simona Halep in the final with a score of 7–6(7–2), 3–6, 6–4.
Other than that, the Denish tennis star also played in the final of the US Open twice where she was defeated on both occasions—first by Kim Clijsters in 2009 with a score of 7-5, 6-3 and then by Serena Williams with a score of 6-3, 6-3.
Main draw in Montreal (WTA 1000), where Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula are the top seeds. Montreal also sees the return of Caroline Wozniacki. Notable 1Rs: Keys-Venus Kostyuk-Zheng Qinwen Brady-Ostapenko Vondrousova-Sherif Haddad Maia-Badosa
