Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki, who've won a combined 102 WTA singles titles, teamed up as doubles partners for the first time, winning a first-round match at the ASB Classic in Auckland.
They’re friends, they’ve both been ranked No. 1 in singles and on Monday they became doubles partners for the first time as Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki teamed to win a first-round match at the ASB Classic in Auckland.
The pair jointly have won 24 Grand Slam singles titles — 23 for Serena — and 102 WTA singles titles. Williams additionally has won 23 doubles titles, including 13 Grand Slam and three Olympic titles, mostly in partnership with sister Venus. Wozniacki is playing the New Zealand tournament for the sixth straight year as a prelude to the Australian Open, after which she will retire from competitive tennis. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis shortly after winning the title at Melbourne Park in 2018 and has decided to make the Australian Open her last professional tournament before retirement.
“It wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t at least once get to play with her on the same side. She’s beaten me a lot of times on the other side so it’s actually nice that we can win together for once.”“It’s cool. I can’t let the rest of both of our amazing careers go without playing with her. With her doing so well as a Grand Slam champion and a long-time No. 1, of course I want to share the court with her.
