Wozniacki believes wrist will be 100 percent
World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki says her injured left wrist should be OK when she contests her first-round match at the Australian Open on Monday against Anastasia Rodionova. The Dane injured her wrist in late in the second set in Sydney against Agnieszka Radwanska. The 20-year-old has rarely suffered significant injuries.
"I've been pretty lucky with injuries. I've had some small ones also with the ankles and things," she said. "But obviously you want to be 100 percent healthy. I feel confident that my wrist will be okay for Monday. I really felt the sharp pain, I was a bit concerned. But now it feels good, so I'm okay. But that's a great thing for me to know, then I can compete at a 100 percent.?"
Wozniacki admitted that she was a "bit scared" when it happened and "should maybe not have finished the match. I should maybe just have cut it off in the third set. But, I'm a competitor. I wanted to try to do my best out there."
The Dane’s No. 1 ranking is under threat at the tournament, but feels like she can compete for the title. "I know that if I play on my high level and if I play the way I want to play, it's really tough to beat me," said Wozniacki, who added that it’s the ninth time that she has played the tournament (including the juniors).—Matt Cronin
