Caroline Wozniacki’s continued interest in motorsports since retiring from tennis

Since retiring with 30 WTA titles to her name, Caroline Wozniacki has enjoyed exploring other interests that were not possible during her playing days. This has included attending various motorsports events as a spectator in Europe and America.

“For the first-ever FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX it was important for us to create an opening ceremony that balances the spirit of Las Vegas with the global excitement that Formula 1 and these incredible drivers bring to each host city,” said Renee Wilm, Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. CEO.

Wozniacki’s weekend at the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix was made more memorable by her chance meeting with fellow Danish star Magnussen. As she continues following her new passions in retirement, more interactions with athletes from other sports are likely on the horizon.
