And after his statements went viral, Wozniacki decided to step in and say what was important. “I don’t understand why he keeps bringing it up,” she said. “He looks like he’s doing well. And if he’s doing well, he must surely then look to move on.” The tennis star also said that her grief was a “little dead” now and it had been three years since their breakup.
Shockingly, the golfer made up his mind to say no to the wedding after Wozniacki had mailed out wedding invites. During her interview about the incident, Wozniacki mentioned that she deserved a face-to-face conversation with the golf star. But all he did was make a phone call and never call again.
