"One of the nicest people I've ever met": Tiafoe full of praise for returning Wozniacki, shares admiration after US Open practice
ATPFriday, 01 September 2023 at 01:00
America’s tennis star Frances Tiafoe has heaped praise on the
former world number one Caroline Wozniacki.
Denmark’s veteran tennis star recently came out of retirement
after a gap of more than three years and is currently taking part in the US
Open 2023.
Tiafoe, while talking to the media, heaped praise on ‘legend’
Wozniacki and revealed that it was ‘nice’ to have a training session with her.
"Caro, obviously she's a legend, one of the nicest
people I've ever met,” he said. “It's cool to hit some balls with her, joke
around. She's such a legend of our sport. It's cool to have her back, competing
at a high level."
Tiafoe has booked his place in the third round of the US
Open after securing a straight-set win against Austria’s Sebastian Ofner with a
score of 6-3, 6-1, 6-4. He will now face Adrian Mannarino of France in the
round of 32 clash on Friday.
On the other hand, Wozniacki has already booked her place in
the round of 32 after securing a thumping win in straight sets against Czech
Republic’s Petra Kvitova with a score of 7-5, 7-6. She will now face America’s Jennifer
Brady in the third-round clash on Friday.

- Great article!!
AceOfBase31-08-2026 - Snorting hard drugs is not an "accident" nor a "mistake". That is a Choice.
mandoist28-08-2026 - No... athletes retire and that's it. No 'giftng' Wildcards -- QUALIFY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE NOT RANKED HIGH ENOUGH or stay home and cherish yourselves in the mirrors all over your houses!. This shitshow needs to be stopped... the "Look At Me" nonsense has gone on far too long.mandoist28-08-2026
- Great article! I began cheering for the “real” doubles specialists at the beginning but once they all lost their respective matches I really didn’t care who actually won the whole tournament. I liked the last four teams in the semifinals and would have enjoyed seeing any of them win the trophy! Not sure it really feels like a TRUE Grand Slam win however (and I know history will say it is!). Happy for Muchova/Mensik. Karolina is now a Grand Slam winner.DaveyWavey27-08-2026
- …and Foseca ;)DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
