There have been many rumors about the return of Caroline Wozniacki. The former World No.1 retired soon after the Australian Open 2020 at the age of just 29 years. However, recently, the World No.2 Simona Halep challenged Wozniacki for a match.
Although there were speculations about a possible comeback of Wozniacki, she said that she was not thinking of it in the near future. She played some great matches in her career and one of them was the Australian Open 2018 final against Halep.
In a recent interview, Halep revealed that she had not forgotten about that match. In a nail-biting finale, Wozniacki defeated Halep 7-6, 3-6, 6-4.
