Caroline Wozniacki lost to Serena Williams in the semifinals of the 2011 US Open. So another major passes without Wozniacki winning her first. She's still the No. 1-ranked player in the WTA singles rankings, though.
Did you watch the match on CBS? The announcers, primarily John McEnroe, spoke about the Williams-Wozniacki matchup not on as if the outcome was a foregone conclusion, but as if Wozniacki had no chance whatsoever. I believe McEnroe said something along the lines of "if Wozniacki does (all the things she has to do), maybe she can extend the match a little bit."
As it turns out, Wozniacki did get steamrolled. Still, it was odd to hear the No. 1-ranked player in the world talked about in that manner. Clearly, Caroline is a very, very good player, but just as clearly, she still has plenty of improving to do.

Caroline looks better in her uniform! She is a cutie but she is also in desperate need of a California make over! Either way, she is waaaaay out of my league! haha
ReplyDeleteI met Caroline Wozniacki this summer, and saw her play at the New Haven Open. She deserves the title as number 1 because she earns it. she has the most points and that's that. Her time to win a major will come.
ReplyDeleteI have always liked watching Caroline play (saw her live at Indian Wells) but at the same time didn't quite understand how she holds the #1 ranking. Yes, she has a lot of improving to do to stay there.
