New Mothers and Tennis Stars Osaka, Kerber, Wozniacki Set for Australian Open Return

The tournament, starting Sunday, is being hailed as the 'tournament of comebacks' as the former champions return to the court after becoming mothers.

Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber, and Caroline Wozniacki, all former No. 1-ranked, former Australian Open champions and new mothers, are set to return to the Australian Open.
Osaka, who became a mother in July, competed for the first time in more than a year last week, going 1-1 in Brisbane.
Kerber, who had her Grand Slam breakthrough in Australia in 2016, withdrew from the 2022 U.S. Open because she was pregnant. Her first win since was last week in Sydney as a member of Germany's victorious United Cup team.
Wozniacki, who won the Australian Open in 2018, returned in time for last year's U.S. Open after having two children, Olivia and James.
The Australian Open, set to start Sunday morning, has been hyped as the tournament of comebacks.
