LONDON (Reuters) - Former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka said on Monday she is "ready to start competing" again after the birth of her son and intends to target Wimbledon by taking part in one of grass events that precede it.

The 27-year-old Belarusian won the Australian Open in 2012 and 2013 and was beaten by Serena Williams in the US Open final in both years. Williams will miss Wimbledon this year after announcing her own pregnancy last month.
