Wozniacki 'Proud Quite A Few Moms Paved the Way For Future Generations' In Tennis
WTA
Caroline Wozniacki returned to the WTA Tour recently, and she's now part of the 'Mom's Club' on the WTA Tour, something she's very proud of.
Wozniacki wasn't a mother during her first stint in tennis, so she didn't know what it was like, but she does now. The Danish former number one returned to tennis recently, winning her first match back and officially entering the 'Mom's Club.'
A couple of players are doing great things after giving birth, and it's great to see. There was this narrative that players who become mothers essentially can't hit the same peak as before, and players like Elina Svitolina and Tatjana Maria are disproving that.
It might create a healthy atmosphere where players feel free to become mothers, which hasn't always been the case. A few weird comments that Naomi Osaka received when she announced her pregnancy kind of prove that. Wozniacki would like to contribute to eliminating that stereotype, as she revealed ahead of the 2023 US Open.
I think everyone is so different. I obviously had this conversation with Serena quite a while back. She's supporting me whatever I do. She thought that was really cool that I'm coming back. But it's just everyone is so different. Svitolina, how she does it. How Serena did it. How I'm doing it. We're all different people. I think it's so cool that you choose your own path.
I'm just proud that we are quite a few mum's on tour that have paved the way for the future generation that it's possible to take a break, have a family, then come back.
The return for Wozniacki has been okay so far though nothing spectacular. Nobody knows how long it's going to last. She doesn't either, as she's just enjoying the ride for what it is.
I don't know how long I'm going to play for. I don't know if it will be a year, two years, or three years. I can't predict the future. I'm just enjoying being here in the moment.

Stella112-12-2024 - All players should be treated the same for taking banned substances, if your no 1 in the world or no 300 man or woman you should not be allowed to keep playing,,VPH108-12-2024

- IDK, it looks like to me that Raducanu should praise herself and her team for 'gaming the system' as in playing the points and ranking game. When you look at her season of wild cards, skipping tournaments (including the Paris Olympics!), retiring from losing matches and avoiding qualifying rounds, it seems like there was some plan to move up the ranks without actually playing a lot of tennis. And it worked! Congrats!RealityCheckers04-12-2024
