What is old is new.
It is a throwback to the 2010s with Caroline Wozniacki and Elina Svitolina, the two recent entrants back on the WTA tour after motherhood, facing each other in a night match in the first round at the 2023 Western & Southern Open.
Svitolina is very excited about the matchup, as she should be because she owns a 4-1 head-to-head record between the two.

It has been nearly five years since the two played.
That was a three-set win by Svitolina at the WTA Finals in October 2018.
Svitolina has been back on tour since April; whereas, Wozniacki just started back last week in Montreal.

Insane movement & court awareness for someone who hasn’t played a professional match in years.
Not bad for a mother of two who’s coming out of retirement, eh? 😉 pic.twitter.com/vFumD2CXj4

Wozniacki played well last week but knows that it will take more than a week to fully get back into the groove.
Caroline Wozniacki on her loss to Vondrousova:
“I think there’s a lot of positives I can bring with me. All in all I’m going in the right direction.. With more matches under my belt, I think I’m right there. I’m not far away and I’m just going to build on that.” pic.twitter.com/J8rnxRFAN7

This will be an interesting test for Wozniacki and hopefully an entertaining match for fans.
