Former world number one
Caroline Wozniacki has stated that
she has found a way to keep the balance of her personal and professional life.
The 33-year-old has recently come out of retirement after a
break of three years and is currently taking part in the
US Open 2023.
Wozniacki was quoted in a report where she stated that she
has the ability to stay focused, whether she is with the kids or taking part in
a match.
"I think once a competitor, always a competitor,” she
said. “I know what I need to do out there. When I'm with the kids, I'm with the
kids 100%. When I'm zoned in on the match, I'm there 100%. I gave the kids a
big kiss. I said, Mommy's got to go work now. Olivia asked if she could join. I
said, No, it's very late, you're going to be sleeping. She said, Okay, tomorrow
we play tennis."
"I'm just so happy to be through. I think there are
some things I did very well, other things that I can do better. All in all, I'm
going to be thrilled with a win today. Playing on Armstrong is special. Playing
a night session. Obviously, I was a little nervous going out there and
finishing off the match. Again, just thrilled to be through in an exciting
match. Get another one out there.
"Honestly, I usually love a night session. For me I
thrive playing in front of a big crowd, playing a night session, especially
when you're playing first on. You know exactly when you're on. You can really
prepare for that.”
Wozniacki has made a winning start to her campaign in the
fourth and final Grand Slam of the year where she defeated Tatiana Prozorova in
the opening round in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2.
She will now face Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic in the
second round of the competition on Wednesday.
