Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee are a power couple known for supporting each other at games and matches. But there’s a big change in the ways in which they support each other. While Wozniacki cheers energetically at Lee’s basketball games, the vibe is different when it comes to tennis. Talking about the same, Lee, in an interview with Vogue, explained that tennis player’s boxes are like “a military operation,” where exuberance is limited.
“I don’t even check my phone,” said Lee further while highlighting the strictness that the game brings. Though Wozniacki freely celebrates at basketball games, the rules of tennis matches require a more subdued presence. This was one of the major reasons behind Lee maintaining complete silence in the game.

Wozniacki says she has one of the most supportive husbands that she could have asked for
Coming out of retirement and playing back at the level best is something not many can do. But, besides Wozniacki’s brilliant on-court heroics is the support that she gets from her husband and her family. In an interview, she did not shy away from acknowledging the impact that her husband had and was quick to suggest that she feels very lucky to have such a supportive family.
“It’s certainly not easy to find the right balance—and I’m so lucky to have a supportive husband, supportive parents, and the help of a nanny—but I think it’s possible. I want to prove that to myself and those women,” said Wozniacki in the interview.
