Caroline Wozniacki is ready for action at the 2018 French Open. The Danish tennis star plays her first match this weekend.
Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki is one of the favorites this year at the 2018 French Open. She is coming off of a stellar last twelve months worth of tennis. Earlier this year, she kicked off the WTA Tour with her first career Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. There, she met Simona Halep in the finals, defeating the Romanian tennis great. Her Grand Slam success also came on the heels of winning her first ever WTA Finals.
At Roland Garros this month, both Wozniacki and Halep are among the players to beat.
