Caroline Wozniacki Reminisces Being the Flag Bearer for Denmark Ahead of Tokyo Olympics 2020 Opening Ceremony

Former World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki was the first woman from a Scandinavian country to hold the top spot in rankings. She held that position for 71 weeks in her career. She also won 30 WTA singles titles, indicating her dominance on the women’s Tour. 

Recently, Caroline Wozniacki remembered the proud moment when she lifted the flag of Denmark during the Olympic Games in Rio. As the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics began, Caroline had fond memories of herself being amongst those athletes in the previous edition. 

She went onto social media, revealed her feelings, and stated, “One of the proudest moments of my career being the flag bearer at the Olympics for my home country of Denmark! Good luck to all the athletes competing this year in Tokyo! I will be watching and supporting!”

Caroline Wozniacki retired from the sport in 2020

Wozniacki retired from tennis last year. She had revealed the Australian Open would be her last tournament and she ended up losing in the third round to Tunisian player Ons Jabeur. 

Prior to that, the Danish star won her first and only Major quite late in her career, winning the Australian Open in 2018. Besides, she has been a two-time finalist at the US Open in 2009 and 2014. 

Coming to the Olympic Games, all the matches will be beginning from tomorrow onwards. Superstar Novak Djokovic and two-time gold medalist Andy Murray are going to be in action. 

In women’s, World No. 1 and recently crowned Wimbledon champion Ashleigh Barty will be headlining the competition. Even Naomi Osaka is back on the courts after her withdrawal from the French Open earlier in the season. 

As all the action is soon about to begin, we wish all the athletes across all the sporting events the best of luck and do their nations proud.
