The last time fans saw Caroline Wozniacki on the courts was way back in 2020, before the pandemic struck. The 2020 Australian series was her farewell tour, and she played at the Aukland Open and then the Australian Open. In the former, she reached the semifinal, eventually losing to eventual champion Jessica Pegula and in the latter, she lost in the third round to Ons Jabeur. She then announced her retirement from professional tennis at 29 years of age.

However, she had promised to play a ‘farewell’ match for her home fans back in Denmark, but the COVID 19 crisis has foiled that plan. While it was scheduled for a day in February, it got delayed yet again. However, she recently posted about the event finally taking place after several postponements.
Caroline Wozniacki teases fans about comeback
Wozniacki has tasted great success in her hay day being the No. 1 for 71 weeks and, becoming the first Scandanavian woman to do so. She also has 30 WTA singles titles to her name and was known for her great footwork and defensive abilities. Even though it’s been quite some time since Wozniacki has played a match against an elite player, everyone is hoping to see at least sparks of the Dane back.
The elite player in question, whom Wozniacki will be playing against is Angelique Kerber. The three-time Grand Slam champion from Germany is another Former World No. 1 and also a great friend of Wozniacki. They will be playing an exhibition match for an event titled The Final One. That will take place at the Royal Arena, in Copenhagen on the 5th of April.

We hope that she can indeed get her revenge. And if not anything else, her fans will be rewarded with a great night of tennis!
