Caroline Wozniacki, playing in just her third event since coming out of retirement, scored the biggest win of her comeback yet, upsetting 11th seed Petra Kvitova 7-5, 7-6 (5) on Wednesday night at the US Open.
When Caroline Wozniacki finished off the biggest victory of her still-fresh comeback following 3½ years away from tennis, she sat in her US Open sideline chair, leaned forward and covered her face with both hands. Then she leaned back, glanced over at her husband and her father in the stands and smiled.
Two gold chains dangled from her neck, each carrying a name written in cursive: Olivia, for her 2-year-old daughter, and James, for her 10-month-old son.
Wozniacki clearly made the right choice to come out of retirement and try her hand at this tennis thing again, making it to the third round at Flushing Meadows by beating two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova 7-5, 7-6 (5) in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday night.
« This couldn’t be better, » Wozniacki said. « It’s a dream come true.
