McIIroy: Wozniacki outworks most players

Golfer Rory McIlroy tells the Irish Times that his girlfriend, world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, is an inspiration to him: "A tennis career is a lot shorter than a golf one and they have to put everything into it for the eight or 10 years they’re playing," he said. "She definitely works harder than I do—and most of the girls on the tennis tour. If anything it’s been a great influence on me to see how hard she works and how she dedicates herself to her game. It’s also nice to be with someone who has the same ambition and drive. I don’t want to sound soppy here, but the best thing that’s happened to me off the course this year is meeting Caroline."
