In exciting personal news, Caroline Wozniacki, the former World No. 1 and 2018 Australian Open champion, is happily gearing up to welcome her third child into the world. Over the weekend, she shared this joyful update with her social media followers.
The tennis star, who became a mother to Olivia in 2021 and then to James in 2022, playfully announced, “Officially switching to zone defense!” She expressed her excitement by adding, “Our family couldn’t be more excited to welcome baby #3 soon!”
Caroline, alongside her husband David Lee—who boasts an impressive career as a former NBA player—seems to be assembling quite the family team, hinting at the potential of fielding their own little starting five in the near future. After a significant three-year maternity break, Wozniacki made a commendable return to the tennis circuit in 2023. Her last appearance was at the 2024 US Open, where she put up a strong performance, reaching the round of 16.
Her news was met with warmth and well-wishes from the tennis community. Friends and fellow players like Angelique Kerber, Agnieszka Radwanska, Heather Watson, and Karolina Pliskova hopped onto Instagram to extend their congratulations to the growing family.
