Caroline Wozniacki was on the brink of defeat against Anett Kontaveit. Finding her confidence, she surges back in order to take the final two sets of their third round match.

The former world No. 1 in women’s singles tennis has advanced to the Wimbledon fourth round six times throughout her career. She now has a chance to reach the quarterfinals at the Grand Slam.

Wozniacki takes the third round match in three sets. She comes back to win 4-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2.

The Danish tennis star was facing elimination with Kontaveit hitting every mark. Nerves got the best of the Estonian tennis player however and Wozniacki rose to the occasion.

Reaching the second week at Wimbledon is impressive for anyone, including a former world No. 1. The deep run at the major tournament is critical for Wozniacki right now. She has risen to the world No. 6 ranking in women’s singles this year, seeing four finals appearances already.

There is no doubt that Caroline Wozniacki will claim a WTA singles title in the near future.

The Danish tennis player is yet to win a Grand Slam singles title. She has, however, reached two US Open finals and has 25 WTA titles to her name. Her big match and tournament experience sets her up to be a formidable contender for the Wimbledon women’s singles title in week two.

Caroline Wozniacki is set to face Coco Vandeweghe on Monday.

As the fifth seed, the Danish tennis star will be the favorite to win. Throughout their careers, Wozniacki is 2-0 against the American tennis player. Also in action on Monday is top seeded Angelique Kerber. The German tennis star is the current world No. 1 and takes on Garbine Muguruza.

Somewhat of a surprise is the success of Victoria Azarenka. Although she is one of the biggest names in women’s singles tennis, Azarenka recently returned from time off after the birth of her son. She is unranked at Wimbledon this year and has found her way into the fourth round. She takes on second seeded Simona Halep in what will be a fantastic match.

Stay tuned to see how Caroline Wozniacki and others fare at Wimbledon.
