‘Real Girl’s Girl’- Chris Evert Once Retracted Her Impression on Serena Williams After Witnessing Her Emotional Bond With Caroline Wozniacki

Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki have been friends for a long time. Both the aces were at the top of the sport and instead of having bad blood, shared a really sweet bond. The 23 times Grand Slam champion faced a lot of atrocities while trying to settle into tours. She was subjected to a variety of things and her dominant style of playing distanced other professionals.

Serena was only close to her elder sister Venus, and that’s when the much-needed friendship arrived. The entire tennis fraternity cherished Williams and Wozniacki’s bond. In fact, Chris Evert, who had shared a similar relationship with Martina Navratilova, spoke about the preciousness of what they created. 

Chris Evert about Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki’s bond

In the year 2015, the 18 times Grand Slam champion spoke about Williams and Wozniacki’s friendship. She said, “In the past, the Williams sisters always stuck together. So it’s nice to see that friendship develop between the two of them.”

Thereafter, she added, “On the court, they have such different styles. Caroline is very reserved, and Serena is more emotional. She really wears her heart on her sleeve. But when you talk to them, you see they have a lot in common.”

“Caroline is always happy and doesn’t stop talking, and Serena is a real girl’s girl.” Like Evert and Navratilova, they were rivals only on the court. As soon as the former World No 1s stepped out, they returned to being best buds. In fact, a few hours before their match they once sat down together and did some window shopping.
