Caroline Wozniacki ready to challenge Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinal
As the 33-year-old Danish tennis star gets ready to face Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinal, Caroline Wozniacki has acknowledged the challenges that lie ahead of her. The Dane says that she has been following Swiatek’s game for close quarters for a long time now.
However, the 33-year-old is wise enough to understand that it is a different game altogether to go head-to-head against a player of such high caliber.
I have obviously commentated some of her matches. I know how she's playing. Obviously, she's playing good tennis, playing powerfully. I practiced with her as well a few times after I have come back, during the US Open as well. Caroline Wozniacki said at the press conference.
Wozniacki has promised to play her best tennis against the Polish ace.
I know how she plays, but it's one thing knowing how she plays and also playing against her in a full match. I know that I have to play my best tennis to compete against her, and that's what I hope to do. The Danish ace said.
It is worth mentioning that Caroline Wozniacki and Iga Swiatek have faced each other only once so far in their career. The first time the two players locked horns was way back in 2019 when Swiatek had defeated the Dane in three sets.
