Former World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki is not just returning to the game to compete. She's coming to rule again.
The Danish star is set to return to the court via the Canada Open, which could be a great warm-up before the US Open, where she believes she is the best player.
"I'm too competitive to show up and not feel like I'm going to be one of the best players out there," the 32-year-old told BBC.

Wozniacki walked away from the game in 2020 to take care of her two children.
She spent 71 weeks as the World No. 1 in Women's Singles. Throughout her career, she collected several trophies in both Singles and Doubles, including 30 WTA singles titles and the 2018 Australia Open.
Serena Williams Influenced Wozniacki's Return
Wozniacki once had tennis great Serena Williams as her rival on the tennis court, but that was a thing of the past as the two eventually became close friends.
The Danish player said she talked to Williams about her plans, and the American was very happy for her.
"When I told her my plan, she just said, 'Wow, good for you. I'm going to cheer you on every step of the way, and if you ever need anything, I'm here.' She's always been there for me."
She also shared how Williams' legacy of continuously winning even after she gave birth to Olympia influenced her decision to return to the game.
"She paved the way for so many of us - she showed us that anything is possible," Wozniacki said.
