Retiring Wozniacki to face Serena in May exhibition

Serena Williams will face her close friend Caroline Wozniacki when the Dane celebrates her career with an exhibition match in 2020.

Williams and Wozniacki have met 11 times previously, with the American winning on 10 occasions, though they have not played since the WTA Finals in 2014.

Caroline Wozniacki will return to the court after her retirement to play in an exhibition match against Serena Williams.

Denmark's Wozniacki, 29, has announced she will be bringing her career to an end after the Australian Open, which begins next month.

But tickets have also gone on sale for a return to the court in a match being billed as 'The Final One' against close friend and 23-time grand slam champion Williams at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen on May 18.
