Wozniacki and Williams played in front of a sold-out arena of 12,500 with Wozniacki winning, 6-4, 6-3. For both, Copenhagen holds special meaning because it's where they first met.

"It’s a great honor to play Venus here in the national football stadium,” Woznacki said. "The last time she was here and I met Venus for the first time I was just 12, back in 2002. A lot’s changed and I’m really excited and honored to be here."
