Reunited: Close friends Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki share heartwarming moment at Sports Illustrated party
WTASunday, 03 May 2026 at 00:30
Players, rivals but most importantly friends as Caroline Wozniacki reunited with her good friend Serena Williams in a heartwarming reunion for those who of course watched them during their time on the court.
During an event organised by Sports Illustrated in Miami, Williams and Wozniacki met up. The Dane shared several photos of their moment together. Accompanied by the simple message: "So happy to have seen my best friend again."
Often when they retire from the sport albeit both technically haven't yet, rivals become friends like Nadal and Federer or they don't tend to see much of each other again and for Wozniacki and Williams, they fit the latter in not seeing much of each other but also the former too as when they do reunite it is heartwarming.
The two players faced each other 11 times during their careers. Williams dominated the head-to-head with 10 wins, while Wozniacki only won once. In the Quarter-Finals in Miami in 2012 no less ironically where they reunited.
Both are a bit of a cloud when it comes to retirement. Wozniacki has had another child albeit has in the past indicated she is unlikely to return after her ill-fated comeback prior to becoming a mum again while it has gone semi quiet on the Williams front after her decision to enter the doping protocol.
Her sister Venus still at 45 defies tennis belief by still playing on but whether Serena will join her is another matter. But good to see two icons of the sport back together.

- WTF is this here for????
- Doubt she recalls which 'man' she acquired those underwear from... but the label probably has "ATP" on it.
- I've lately been thinking everyone is pointing to the wrong location for "illness" and constant "injury". Perhaps some 'couch time' is in order at this point?
- She has long outlived this shitshow she started. So, according to this lucky winner, ALL THE WORLD's CITIZENS should shun one another while forced to live under threatening, insane Leaders and Regimes? A sad individual who thinks she's changing the World with her ridiculous shunning of Russian opponents. Must be a hard life worrying about Ukraine from her balcony overlooking Monte Carlo? WTA needs to take a REAL stand here. Otherwise ban flags and handshakes by Russia, China, Israel, Iran, USA..... (Get the picture??)
- They still with that crap??? These Ukrainians need to just stop. Your Russian opponents have nothing to do with the war against your country. They didn't start it and by you not shaking their hands certainly won't end it. All this bitterness and unforgiveness will not augur well for these silly women.
- Tennis knows it has a huge problem with Hi-Tech line calls on clay. They've admitted so behind closed doors. However they do nothing except make a rule that no one can argue a call; no matter the proof. Perhaps the new WTA CEO will take a stand??
- "Accused" ?? They've been doing this regularly at tourneys... and yelling over the opponent standing right in front of them. Last season as well, when at one point Coco asked them to stop.
- Courier is an idiot. It's a virus which has been medically confirmed early last week.
- When is this Williams shitshow going to be stopped??? STEALING WILDCARDS from young, promising talents is disgusting, I don't care how big an Ego someone has. Dignity & Integrity are obviously out the window. Williams Family needs the spotlight so bad -- install a little theater at home, with professioal studio lighting, an applause track, and enjoy your needy selves.
- Sad? I'm laughing at what a loser you are.
