Wozniacki has been married to former NBA star David Lee since June 2019, and the ex-basketball player is often seen in the Danish star's players box during her matches. Lee was present to witness the clash between two mothers, former World No.1's and Grand Slam champions, as Wozniacki defeated Kerber in straight sets to advance to the quarterfinals at Indian Wells.
Basketball is not her strong suit, admits Wozniacki
During the on-court interview after the match, Wozniacki was asked of her husband's chances against her in a tennis match. Additionally, the host inquired how she would fare if she played against him in basketball.
"I'm terrible at basketball and he's 6'9 so maybe he could get one serve in but if he's not playing the serves, I think neither of us has any chance at each other's sports," replied Wozniacki with a laugh.
The former Australian Open champion may not have much to laugh at in her next match however, as she faces World No.1 Iga Swiatek for a spot in the semifinals. They have clashed just once on tour, with the Polish star emerging victorious during their encounter at the 2019 Canadian Open.
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.
