Caroline Wozniacki‘s recent performance has been disappointing for the fans. After facing early exits in Miami as well as Charleston, not only did she find herself out of the game but has also inspired fan concern. While many have been curious about her recent setbacks, the reason was recently revealed but not through an official interview.
The 33-year-old’s recent match at the Billie Jean King Cup left fans puzzled as she faced unexpected health issues. During her match against Portugal’s Sinja Kraus, the WTA star appeared to be struggling with her physical state, finding herself suppressed behind with a scoreline of 0-6, 0-1.
As the fans kept wondering what was up with her, she suddenly walked off the court, seeking medical assistance for feeling unwell. This unexpected move not only marked another setback in her performance graph but also raised speculation about her well-being among spectators.

As fans struggled to find out what was up with Wozniacki, they didn’t get an answer to their curiosity but an announcement of her retiring from the match. Despite the desire for clarity, detailed information about her current condition still remains a mystery, leaving fans in suspense about the extent of her setback.
However, this wasn’t the first sign when fans saw the Dane struggling with her performance. Back in Miami, the tennis star faced a disappointing defeat against Anhelina Kalinina in the round of 64 match that ended with a final scoreline of 5-7, 7-5, 6-4. With that could be just another chance, her performance in Charleston added another moment of doubt as she faced another early exit against the same opponent.
While the recent illness could be something that existed for a long time, it still remains to be seen when she comes forward with an update on her status.
