In 2020, Caroline Wozniacki bid farewell to professional tennis, leaving fans with adorable recollections of her distinguished lifetime. However, in 2023, the tennis ace made an unexpected declaration, her comeback on the tennis court. Presently a mother to two small kids, Wozniacki’s choice was met with reverence and energy from fans and players alike.

In her recent interview on The Game Changers podcast, Wozniacki uncovered a startling part of her tennis journey. As a young tennis fan, she had a profound adoration for Adidas. Her adoration was largely fueled by the iconic Anna Kournikova who sported their apparel.

However, as much as Wozniacki loved these outfits, they came at an expensive cost for her parents. In the fan-loved Spotify episode, she shared, “So I was a big fan of Adidas and especially because Anna Kournikova was playing in the clothes. And she made them just look beautiful. And so I always had my parents buy me that Anna Kournikova collection.”

In a strong move, Wozniacki chose to assume control over financial issues. She reached out to the President of Adidas Denmark, a $32 billion giant in the sports sector. At the young age of 12 years, the tennis star settled on a telephone decision that would redirect her tennis journey. During a 10-minute discussion, she conveyed her excitement for tennis, her dreams of becoming the next world number one, and her profound love for the Adidas brand.

Wozniacki also explained, “So he sends me the catalogs and he goes, “You can choose whatever you want. And we’ll make sure to send the collections to whatever they come out.” So that was pretty cool. I had that for a few years. That’s fantastic.”

To her surprise, the CEO was intrigued by her determination as well as moved by her love for their brand. He expanded a liberal proposition and permitted young Wozniacki to choose and get the Adidas attire. This striking deal not only furnished her with the clothing she loved. It also imparted a feeling of conviction and support in her budding tennis career.
