In April she announced that she would return to the court in August at the Stanford tournament, but the two-time Australian Open champion has decided to speed up her return. "My training has been progressing well and I feel ready to start competing ... Leo kinda said that he wants to see London and Wimbledon," Azarenka tweeted.
"I will be finalising my schedule in the coming days -- I plan to play one of the grass court events prior to Wimbledon," said Azarenka, whose last game on grass was a loss in 2015 against American Serena Williams, in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon.
