Former world No.1 Victoria Azarenka has been handed a wildcard into next month's Mallorca Open as she gears up for a return to Wimbledon after the birth of her son.
Azarenka, who won the Brisbane, Indian Wells and Miami tournaments before announcing her pregnancy last July, is unranked.
"I am happy to announce that I will come back on court in Mallorca," Azarenka told reporters ahead of the tournament that starts on June 18. "I am very willing to play again and it will be special to do it in such an unbelievable place."
The 27-year-old Belarusian, who has won two Australian Open titles, has a protected ranking entry into the Wimbledon Championships, starting on July 3.
