Caroline Wozniacki

Caroline Wozniacki has spent quite a bit of time at No. 1 in the world rankings, but the knock on her is that she has yet to win a major championship. And she still hasn't, after losing in the 2012 Australian Open quarterfinals to Kim Clijsters.

Caroline Wozniacki lost to Serena Williams in the semifinals of the 2011 US Open. So another major passes without Wozniacki winning her first. She's still the No. 1-ranked player in the WTA singles rankings, though.

Did you watch the match on CBS? The announcers, primarily John McEnroe, spoke about the Williams-Wozniacki matchup not on as if the outcome was a foregone conclusion, but as if Wozniacki had no chance whatsoever. I believe McEnroe said something along the lines of "if Wozniacki does (all the things she has to do), maybe she can extend the match a little bit."

As it turns out, Wozniacki did get steamrolled. Still, it was odd to hear the No. 1-ranked player in the world talked about in that manner. Clearly, Caroline is a very, very good player, but just as clearly, she still has plenty of improving to do.

It's a sad day at the world headquarters of Tennis Babes whenever Caroline Wozniacki is eliminated for a tournament. Alas, it happened in the fourth round at Wimbledon 2010. The third-seeded Wozniacki was routed by Petra Kvitova 6-2, 6-0.

Caroline Wozniacki did a very sporting thing at the Luxembourg Open: Ahead of Luxembourg's own Anne Kremer by a score of 7-5, 5-0, Wozniacki retired from the match with a hamstring injury. She could have closed out the match, she explained, but felt there was no chance she'd be able to play her next match. So she decided to let the Luxembourgian go through to the next round.

Great gesture, right? Not to the WTA: The Tennis Integrity Unit (the folks who investigate match fixing, among other things) are all over it because of something Wozniacki's father was overheard saying during the match. It's clear that Caroline did nothing wrong. But for the full story, see Yahoo's tennis blog.
