2018 Australian Open champion, Caroline Wozniacki said goodbye to tennis in January 2020. In 2022 she will make a comeback to play one last match in her career. On April 5, she will play her final match against 3-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber. Meanwhile, she already played an exhibition match against Kim Clijsters as a preparation for her final match. Before that match, she talked to the 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert about her life as a tennis player. 

Caroline Wozniacki reveals the reason she chose tennis

Recently, WTA released a video on their YouTube channel where legendary American player Chris Evert interviewed Caroline Wozniacki. In that interview, the Danish player talked about the reason she chose tennis as a profession. 

“It all started with I think me having way too much energy as a child. So, my parents wanted me to get out of the house and wanted me to burn off some steam, so they signed me up for any sport possible with gymnastics, tennis, football, swimming, kind of everything that you can imagine… I was pretty decent at most sports but I found tennis the most fun and I think that was the sport I was the best at. So probably the reason why I stuck out with that,” Wozniacki revealed.
