WTAThursday, 24 August 2023 at 07:00
Former world number one Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki gathered
a lot of support from the crowd as she continued her preparation for the
upcoming US Open.
The 33-year-old has recently come out of retirement after a
break of three years and has put in some decent performances as well.
Wozniacki shared a story on her official Instagram account
of a fan where the fans sitting in the arena are cheering for her as she
prepares for the upcoming mega-event.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is set to begin
in less than five days’ time where players from all over the world will showcase
their talent.
Since her return, Wozniacki suffered a second-round exit
from the National Bank Canadian Open after losing to newly-crowned Wimbledon
champion Marketa Vondrousova of Czech Republic with a score of 6-2, 7-5.
In the recently concluded Cincinnati Open (Western & Southern
Open), the Odense-born lost the opening round fixture against France’s Varvara
Gracheva in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4.
Wozniacki has an impressive record while playing at the
Flashing Medows where she finished runner-up twice.
In 2009, she lost to Belgium’s Kim Clijsters with a score of
7-5, 6-3 whereas in 2014 she came second-best against America’s Serena Williams
with a score of 6-3, 6-3.

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026

However, the question mark over the 32-year-old's head...good grief man, hire a proofreader. This article is rife with errors making some sentences very difficult to read. I had to stop. I am a proofreader hence my disgust.Rapunzel10-09-2026
- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
