On the day Caroline Wozniacki claimed her No.1 mantle, Serena Williams revealed she will make her comeback from a foot injury in Austria next week.

Williams, 29, has been out since July, meaning she missed the US Open and she was overtaken at the top of the world rankings by Wozniacki on Thursday.

She will make her return to the WTA Tour in Linz after finally getting the "green light" from her doctor, she told the tournament's website.

Williams narrowly missed making her return in the Tokyo and Beijing tournaments as she regains full fitness after recovering from a cut to her foot sustained by stepping on broken glass in a restaurant.
