Meanwhile, after Wozniacki announced the good news of becoming a mother, several congratulatory messages were pouring in from all corners. In the comment section of her Instagram post, many current and former tennis players, like Serena Williams, Ana Ivanovic, Angelique Kerber, Donna Vekic, Agnieszka Radwanska, and others, wrote some lovely messages for her. Particularly, her best friend Serena Williams posted a comment and also a story on her official Instagram account.

Wozniacki’s famous Grand Slam win in 2018

The Danish player played many years on the tour and spent a total of 71 weeks in the no.1 ranking. However, many questioned her ranking because she always failed to perform on the big stage, i.e. a Grand Slam tournament. Speaking about being no.1, she once said, “I think obviously when you’re No. 1 in the world, if you’ve been there, you have a target on your back and you’re a favorite every time you play, and every time you come into the media after a lost match it’s basically a disappointment regardless of who the opponent is because everyone is lower ranked.”

After this win, she became the first Danish player to win a Slam. Also, she regained her no.1 ranking after displacing Halep from the top.
