The match finished with a scoreline of 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 when Wozniacki’s forehand went wrong.

“I think it was only fitting that my career would end with a three-setter, a grinder and that I would finish my career with a forehand error. These are the things I have been working for all of my career,” Wozniacki said with a smile.
