She was just recently seen sitting in the stands with her child in her lap and watching the Brisbane International event unfold.

Many people have hoped for a much-awaited comeback from the Australian; however, she has always denied it at every stage.

The 2021 Wimbledon champion had an excellent career before she decided to take an abrupt retirement from the sport. Having won three Grand Slams, she also maintained her World No. 1 position for 114 weeks at the top, the fourth longest by any female tennis player.
