Caroline Wozniacki retired from professional tennis in 2020, but she had the legs to go out and compete in one final match. The former World No. 1 had arranged for an exhibition match against her good friend Serena Williams as her farewell from the sport, but the event was postponed due to the complications caused by COVID-19.

Wozniacki and Serena were scheduled to face each other on May 18, 2020, but the possibility was shattered due to a massive virus outbreak. Tennis fans dearly anticipated the clash between two former foes but were left disappointed after the postponement. 

The match was titled “The Final One” and it was supposed to be held in Denmark, but Wozniacki took the trouble of announcing the event’s postponement and wrote, “the safety and health of everyone is most important.”

Caroline Wozniacki and Serena Williams will face off in 2021

Wozniacki last played at the 2020 Australian Open, where she bowed out in the R32 against Ons Jabeur. The match against Serena Williams was supposed to be her last ever, but tennis fans will now get to see these two in action next year! 

As mentioned, Caroline Wozniacki has postponed the event to 2021, and she recently released a video to confirm the announcement. The 2018 Australian Open champion conversed in Danish, and her management agency ‘f Sports Group ApS’ released the video on Instagram. 

A final date is yet to be set, but Wozniacki appeared in the video to let out the cheerful news that she’ll be playing against Serena Williams in 2021! Here’s how the caption reads when translated from Danish to English: 

“It is a huge puzzle that must go up in a higher unit, but we can assure you that we will continue to work at high pressure to be able to announce a date in the near future… As promised, all ticket buyers will again have the opportunity to have their tickets refunded when announcing a new date. Of course, we hope that as many as possible continue to want to pay tribute to two of the world’s biggest sports stars.” 

Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki are the thickest of friends one can find in the WTA circuit. In fact, Serena was one of Wozniacki’s bridesmaids at her wedding in 2019. 

Williams and Wozniacki have faced each other 11 times in their careers. It is the former who enjoyed massive success as she held a 10-1 record against the Danish tennis player.
