Heavy merit
“With 30 WTA titles, a first place on the world rankings in 71 weeks, a victory in the WTA playoffs, 3 Olympics - where I got to carry the banner for Denmark - and the victory in the Australian Open 2018, I have achieved everything I could have dreamed on the track, "wrote Caroline Wozniacki, then.

Packed schedule
What happens in the future is not entirely clear. But idle Caroline Wozniacki will definitely not be the first time.
- The first half of the year is basically fully subscribed, I will be more booked than I have ever been. I told David (my husband Lee) that I want to take some time off to do nothing at all and maybe go to some cool place, but ... Every time something pops up that seems fun but that I could never do I look in my calendar and, yes, it's more fully subscribed now than when I played, she said at a press conference, ahead of the tennis tournament over the past weekend.
