Last month, Serena Williams has revealed that she has set herself the most outrageous goal of returning at the Australian Open in January. Her friend and tennis superstar Caroline Wozniacki also affirmed that the new mother is so focused on her comeback to the sports world.

Williams has a long history of setting the tennis world on fire, but her past accomplishments may just be the beginning of it all. In an interview Vogue, she spoke about the impact of motherhood on her career in the future. Apparently, it appears as if she is not going to retire from the court as she has already started preparing for her comeback in next year, just three months after giving birth.

The tennis icon explained, "I used to think I'd retire when I have kids, but no. I'm definitely coming back. Walking out there and hearing the crowd, it may seem like nothing. But there's no better feeling in the world."

She went on to admit that it might be the most outrageous plan ever. Yet she boldly quipped, "In this game, you can go dark fast. If I lose, and I lose again, it's like, she's done. Especially since I'm not 20 years old. I'll tell you this much: I won't win less. Either I win, or I don't play."

Needless to say, her friend Wozniacki assured that Williams has remained focused on her career just weeks after becoming a mother. She said via Yahoo Sports, "Serena, I think she can be focused on both [the baby and tennis]. I think she's going to do a strong comeback but I think at the same she's enjoying being a mum as well and getting that whole experience. I think it's very special. "

Wozniacki also revealed that Williams has been sharing her photos of the baby, Alexis Olympia Ohanian. She gushed, "She's so cute and I'm looking forward to meeting her." The Danish tennis player then admitted that her work commitments prevented her from visiting Williams.
