Former World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki has declared that she is an extremely fierce competitor and hates to lose her matches on the WTA tour.
The Danish superstar, who got engaged to NBA star David Lee, recently said she was enjoying her new life, both on and off the court.
“It has been an incredible year, with everything happening on and off the court,” said Wozniacki. “I couldn’t have written it any better, if I got the opportunity to. But that’s the beauty of tennis, you can always improve. There will be ups and downs but you appreciate the ups so much more after you have had a rough period.”
The Odense native insisted that she hasn’t lost her appetite for tennis as she loves to travel, likes to work on her fitness and enjoys putting long hours in practice.
“I’m such a competitor and I hate losing,” she said. “When you go through the tough times it’s so much more rewarding when everything starts going your way again. That’s when you work even harder and try even harder to make everything go your way.”
“I’ve been there, I’ve done it,” said Wozniacki. “I just love playing now and I’m loving what I do. There is no pressure and I just enjoy every moment.”
However, the 27-year-old, who recently won the WTA’s year-end Championships in Singapore, is desperate to win a Grand Slam title before her career comes to an end.
“I’m going to do my best and see if I am able to do it. I’m going to put myself in the best position and then hopefully it will happen for me this year [winning a major],” she said.
