Wozniacki defends her World No.1 status despite absence of Grand Slam crown
January 22nd, 2011 - 5:55 pm ICT by ANIMelbourne, Jan 22(ANI): Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki has defended her World No.1 status as the debate about the number of women who attain the status without winning a Grand Slam tournament continues.
“I won six tournaments, the most of anyone. You don’t reach No 1 without playing really well throughout the year,” the Daily Express quoted Wozniacki, as saying.
Wozniacki is the first Danish player to be in the top rank.
She has won twelve WTA singles titles, and was the runner-up at the 2009 US Open and the 2010 WTA Tour Championships.
The 20-year-old is also the top seed at the Australian Open.
In the first two rounds, she defeated Gisela Dulko and Vania King in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4 and 6-1, 6-0.
She defeated Dominika Cibulkova 6-4, 6-3 in the third round, and will now face Anastasija Sevastova in the fourth round. (ANI)
