Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki had an incredible career that concluded at the start of 2020. However, her retirement has not stopped her from being involved in the sport, and she is currently watching the US Open.

This year’s edition of the event is being played without fans, but the Danish star does not mind it. She admitted that she was surprised that she enjoyed it and she has especially enjoyed watching her friend Serena Williams. She wants her to do very well as she said,

“She’s getting pumped up, she’s had some tough matches, she’s through, she’s going to play her semifinals here tomorrow. So, I’m really proud of her, I really hope that she’s going to go the whole way. I’m definitely cheering for her.”

Caroline Wozniacki’s diagnosis

It is great to know Caroline Wozniacki enjoying the US Open as a fan, especially since she recently revealed some shocking news. The Danish star admitted that she had been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis back in 2018.

At that time, she had played a three-hour match in Montreal, and the very next day, she found it difficult to get out of bed. Consequently, she consulted a doctor to get to the bottom of it.

Being a strong athlete and going from playing three hours on a tennis court and then the next day barely being able to get out of bed, raised a lot of question marks,” she said.

It was a big shock. I’ve never had anyone in my family with RA or an immune disease. I just couldn’t understand how a fit young person could have this disease.”

The diagnosis must have been tough, not only physically but also mentally. However, it was great that we got to see the Danish star throughout the 2019 season before she called it quits on her career. Now, she is focusing on a new chapter in her life and hopefully, she will succeed there too.
