Andrea Vavassori cites rib injury for Barcelona withdrawal after Monte Carlo scuffle with Ben Shelton

Roger Federer and Caroline Wozniacki were among the sports stars that were spotted on the lawns of Augusta, Georgia for the historic Masters golf tournament over the weekend.

Federer, a 20-time Grand Slam winner, retired in 2022 while former world No. 1 Wozniacki put her WTA comeback on hold after announcing that she’s expecting her third child with former basketball player David Lee. But while they’ve been away from the tennis courts, the pair of major champs got their fix of competition by watching the world’s best golf players competing at the picturesque event.

“As an athlete, I think there's some places that are so iconic that are on the bucket list, and this and Wimbledon are so special,” Wozniacki told ESPN in an interview. "There's so much tradition here. When you arrive at the premises, there's just something about not having your phone, really being in the moment…

"Watching someone who is so good at their craft I think has always been very inspiring, whether it's tennis, golf, at work, whatever it is. As a spectator, it's always fun to see when the best in the world are struggling, and that's what you get here."

"As a spectator, it's always fun to see when the best in the world are struggling, and that's what you get here," Wozniacki said of the Masters.

Wozniacki and Federer joined NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, Bills MVP quarterback Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence and more celebrities in attendance at the Masters.

Of course, Wozniacki is no stranger to golf, having previously been engaged to Rory McIlroy in 2013. McIlroy is currently in the lead at the Masters, a few strokes ahead of the Dane’s own pick to win, Ludvig Aberg.

Federer, meanwhile, might have a little less spectating in his future. He told TNT in Augusta that he’s been itching to pick up a racquet and get back on court to “fill up a few stadiums” at some exhibition events.

"Honestly, I would love to play some more tennis again," Federer said, as he joked that he’s been playing a lot of golf during his time in retirement.

"But seriously, I would love to start playing two or three times a week again and hopefully get myself back on the exhibition court. Maybe fill up a few nice stadiums around the world."
