Marion Bartoli is attempting a comeback to the WTA, the 33-year-old announced on social media on Tuesday.

“I am delighted to announce my comeback on the professional circuit of the WTA next year,” she said in a video. “I am so looking forward to see you again during my matches and share some amazing emotions with you.”

Bartoli abruptly retired from the sport in 2013, soon after winning Wimbledon. She would play two more events that year after Wimbledon before announcing her retirement.

She has been working as a commentator for Eurosport most recently.

“It will be a big challenge,” she added. “I really hope to be ready around..the tournament in Miami.”
