Former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki is starring in a new TV show about becoming a new mum after she left the tennis world to focus on the next chapter of her life.
‘Wozniacki & Lee’ focusses on the Australian Open champion’s life with her former NBA player husband David Lee and their journey into becoming parents for the first time following the birth of their daughter Olivia last year.
The series premiered on March 21 on Viaplay after it was produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Denmark and it features Wozniacki’s friends from the tennis world such as Serena Williams and Agnieszka Radwanska.
“I love spending time with my family, they’re amazing, with my dad being my coach I’d see him every day on the court – my parents are extremely supportive and whatever it is that I need they’re always the first people I call for help,” the 31-year-old revealed.
“For many years it’s been about us (Wozniacki and Lee) and becoming parents is a new and very different chapter in our lives.
“It’s always a bit nerve-wracking to share a personal story but being part of this documentary has given us the possibility to look back at our careers and share the most fantastic story in our lives – becoming parents to Olivia.”
Back when she was playing, the Dane held the No 1 spot for a total of 71 weeks and she won her only Grand Slam title in Australia in 2018 when she beat Simona Halep.
Despite being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis after the 2018 US Open she recovered and played her last match at the 2020 Australian Open when she lost to Tunisian Ons Jabeur, but she left the court with the crowd chanting ‘Sweet Caroline’.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
