Caroline Wozniacki says in an interview with Eurosport at physical problems prevented her from taking part in the Australian Open.
“My body doesn’t feel great. When I started training in the pre-season I had problems with my body, of course also due to my rheumatoid arthritis, so it has been a struggle,” says Caroline Wozniacki to Eurosport.
On top of the cancellation, there has been speculation that Wozniacki would end her career, but that is not the plan.
“I hope after a short break to be back soon,” says Wozniacki.
Her last game was at the US Open in late summer last year where she reached the Round of 16.
The former world No 1 is currently nr. 72 in the world rankings.
Former world No. 1 tennis player Caroline Wozniacki has denied rumors that she has retired from the sport. Wozniacki, who recently withdrew from the Australian Open due to a chronic autoimmune disease, took to social media to clarify her status.
In a statement posted on her Instagram account, Wozniacki said, “I have not retired. I am facing some challenges with my health, and I need to take some time to focus on my treatment and recovery. I will miss competing at the Australian Open this year, but I hope to be back on the court soon.”
Wozniacki, who announced last year that she would be retiring after the 2020 season, has been open about her battle with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disease that causes joint pain and inflammation. Despite the challenges she faces, the Danish tennis star remains determined to continue her career.
Fans and fellow players have shown their support for Wozniacki, sending messages of encouragement and well wishes. While her absence from the Australian Open is disappointing, her health and well-being are the top priority.
We wish Caroline Wozniacki a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back on the court soon. Stay strong, Caroline! #FightOnCaro
