Williams.

Serena, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was delighted to hear about Caroline's comeback and offered her full support. During a recent dinner together, Serena expressed her enthusiasm:
"Serena & 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," she said.
Serena
Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam champion, and Wozniacki have faced each other
11 times, with the American player claiming 10 victories compared to
Wozniacki's solitary win. Wozniacki's sole triumph came in the quarterfinals of
the 2012 Miami Open, although she later lost in the semifinals against Maria
Sharapova.
With her comeback, Caroline Wozniacki aims to create new chapters in her tennis journey, adding to the legacy she has already built. Her return is a testament to her love for the sport and her unwavering passion for competition.
