Caroline Wozniacki was asked how she’d compare women’s tennis now to when she won Australian Open: “I mean… it hasn’t been that many years. It’s not like I’m coming back 20 years later” 😂 The entire room erupts in laughter. Tennis has missed you, Caroline. ❤️
(VIDEO) "I mean… it hasn’t been that many years": Hilarious moment as Wozniacki asked to compare women's tennis now to Australian Open win

Caroline
Wozniacki responded with a sense of humor when asked about the difference
between the current state of women's tennis compared to when she won her first
and only Grand Slam at the 2018 Australian Open.
The
33-year-old athlete, who is making her comeback to the WTA tour after more than
three years away from professional competition and becoming a mother twice, is
one of the major attractions at the 2023 Canadian Open.
She hopes
to deliver strong performances in Montreal and Cincinnati before heading to the
US Open, all of which she entered through wild cards since she dropped out of
the rankings in 2020.
When a
journalist inquired about the changes she noticed in women's tennis since her
triumph in Australia back in 2018, Wozniacki lightheartedly responded to the
question.
“I mean… it
hasn’t been that many years. It’s not like I’m coming back 20 years later,” she
said before the room erupts in laughter.
Despite
being retired for three years, at 33 years old, Caroline Wozniacki still has
age to compete in professional tennis. Examples like Victoria Azarenka, who
reached the semifinals of the 2023 Australian Open at the age of 34, or Petra
Kvitova, who won the Miami Open at 33, show that age is not a barrier to
staying at the top of the rankings.
Even
Karolina Pliskova and Magda Linette, both over 30 years old, remain within the
top 25, demonstrating that veteran players can still be competitive on the
tour.
Wozniacki
will make her debut at the Canadian Open on Tuesday, August 8th, in the first
round, facing the world No. 114, 25-year-old Kimberly Birrell, who advanced
through the tournament's qualifying rounds, including a victory over
Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva.
It will be
an opportunity to see how the former world No. 1 performs in her return to
professional tennis and whether she can stay competitive on the WTA tour.
I don't think I'd ever been happier for someone to win their maiden Grand Slam than Caroline Wozniacki at the 2018 Australian Open So long overdue, so well deserved, and such a joyful celebration x.com/paulharbridge/…
