Caroline Wozniacki Helps Serena Williams Win US Open 2015, Rory McIlroy Breakup Magic Runs Out

Caroline Wozniacki has done the best thing that a good friend to Serena Williams could do at this year’s US Open. By eliminating herself in just the second round, she has made Serena Williams the only real candidate for the champion’s trophy.

This defeat also shows that the professional achievement that she was able to rack up post Rory McIlroy drama has officially run out.

The Danish tennis player, a world number 4 and the finalist at US Open 2014, lost to world number 149 Petra Cetkovska, joining the list of top ten players in the women’s draw.

According to USA Today, “Besides Serena, all that remain in the top 10 are No. 2 Simona Halep (who lost in the first and second rounds of the last two majors) and No. 4 Petra Kvitova (who won the last major that Serena didn’t — Wimbledon 2014). That’s it. That’s the list.”

While Caroline Wozniacki wants to leave behind Rory McIlroy drama once and for all, it looks like that will always be a part of her story, even professionally.

When they first broke up, both of them started to absolutely excel in their professional careers. However, since then, the Danish player has gone downhill, not getting past the fourth round in any of the Grand Slam tournaments.

This kind of professional and social stress has also been building within the 26-year-old player. She finally let that stress out by firing back at WTA for making the players perform through injuries.

She said, “The WTA, they’re like, ‘We want the players healthy, we want them to play at their best level at every tournament and we want to make it tough for them. And that’s good. But the fact that they’re pushing you to play whenever – if you are not feeling 100 percent – is not OK.”

Sounds like she wants some changes before the US Open 2015. Including Rory McIlroy.
