Former world No 1 Victoria Azarenka intends to return to tennis in time to compete in this year's Wimbledon following the birth of her first child.
It's all change for the two-time grand slam champion who has a new coach, Michael Joyce, and now a new son, Leo, born in December.
However, after a year out of the game, Azarenka will start with no official ranking but instead will have her protected ranking of No 6, which will allow her to enter the draw.
Azarenka, 27, initially planned to return at the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford at the end of July, but she now hopes to perform at the All England Club, with the tournament due to start on July 3.
Azarenka posted on twitter saying her training was progressing well and she felt ready to start competing sooner than planned.
Azarenka won back-to-back Australian Open titles in 2012 and 2013 and is also a two-time US Open finalist.
Her best performances at Wimbledon came in 2011 and 2012 when she reached the semi-finals.
