Three and a half years after leaving her tennis passion behind, Caroline Wozniacki is back to playing for herself. The former world number one and mother of two is practicing hard to make a solid comeback in the tennis arena. While she will play Canada and Cincinnati before returning to the US Open for her comeback Grand Slam, there are favorable echoes of her return all around the tennis world.

Although her fans and tennis buddies have all voiced their support for her choice to return, recently one of her rivals has also intervened to lift her spirits. Another former tennis pro, Kim Clijsters, who formerly competed against the Danish tennis player three times, has made a clear wager on her rival as she hopes to make a successful comeback.

The 33-year-old tennis player is all up for the challenge of returning to the tennis arena. And as the former world number one is getting up, she has been bagged up to be a surprise success by her arch-rival Clijsters. The four-time Grand Slam champion recently shared in an interview with Tennis Majors how she has full trust in Wozniacki for his successful comeback.

She said, “She’s a winner and she wants to win. When she gets out there, she’s not just going there because she wants to be back on tour because then she might as well keep playing the Legends. She’s definitely going there to (win). She’s in great shape. She’s a counterpuncher.” 

Along with that, she also stated that this time around she’s back to play for herself and to test herself as a tennis player. While the Belgian tennis player experienced an underrated tennis career, after having a baby, she believes that the mother of two can make things really tough for the current set of tennis players present on the WTA circuit.
