“Why Didn’t We Do This Earlier” – Caroline Wozniacki on Her Partnership With Serena Williams

Former World Number one Caroline Wozniacki hung her boots at Australian Open 2020, after losing to Ons Jabeur in the third-round. Before that, in her penultimate tournament at Auckland International, she partnered her best friend on the WTA Tour Serena Williams for the doubles discipline matches.

The duo rejoiced every moment they spent together on the court and they made a deep run in the finals. In the title match, they lost to the American-pair Taylor Townsend and Asia Muhammad.

After spending time on the professional court with Serena, Caroline regrets not having played tennis with Williams earlier in her career. When it comes to doubles tennis, Serena has always teamed up with her elder sister Venus. In Auckland, it was her first doubles tournament wherein she was partnering with someone else besides Venus. 

Since the Danish star enjoyed the doubles tennis with Serena,  she suggested Wozniacki to return to professional tennis for playing doubles.

“We had a blast, it was awesome,” she said in an interview with the Tennis Channel. “We were like, ‘Why didn’t we do this earlier? Serena suggested, ‘Maybe you come back for the rest of the year and just play doubles.’”

“I love the sport so much” – Caroline Wozniacki

Post her retirement as of now, she doesn’t have any coaching plans to jump back into professional tennis. She’s considering to explore other endeavors of life and discover something beyond tennis. However, her love for the sport would never ever dwindle and she’ll regularly stay updated with tennis. 

“I love the sport so much…I would love to do some TV eventually. Don’t think coaching is for me because I know what to do but I have a hard time expressing that to someone else!” she said.

29-year-old Wozniacki pulled off her first Grand Slam title at Australian Open 2018. After she played a rollercoaster championship match against World Number two Simona Halep.

The Dane Caroline Wozniacki has won a total of 30 WTA titles in her career and twice she reached the finals of US Open. She was ranked 37th in the world when she bid goodbye to her career in Melbourne, Australia.
