The friends competed against each other 11 times on tour. However, Caroline Wozniacki won only one match, at the 2012 Miami Masters. She admitted that it was difficult to comprehend Serena Williams’ greatness from the other side of the net. In an exclusive interview with the Tennis Channel, Wozniacki said, “(Serena) she beat me way too many times. No, but I think uh the fact that you know she’s just such a great person.” She went on to say that Williams is, in her opinion, the greatest tennis player of all time.

Wozniacki claimed that Williams pushed her, and the other women to play better and improve their skills. She also mentioned that Williams was very thoughtful off the court. The Danish tennis star explained how the 23-time Grand Slam Champion has given back both on and off the court. Williams, according to Wozniacki, is very special, and playing against each other was difficult.
