Caroline Wozniacki Is The Last Woman Standing.
Thats what I found myself asking more than once this weekend, as I watched Caroline Wozniacki walk away with her biggest win in nearly 10 months, at the WTAs fourth and final Premier Mandatory event in Beijing.
Over the course of a week, it seemed, Wozniacki transformed her serve from a way to start a point, into a way to win one, and the rest of her game followed suit.
I didnt feel great going into the tournament, to be honest, said Wozniacki, who didnt drop a set in her six matches in Beijing.
But I think after kind of the second match I started feeling like I was hitting the ball well and I could see the ball really well.
She lets her opponents take the risks and come up with the memorable winners, but she knows those winners will also come with errors simply making her opponent move is often all she needs to do to guarantee that the errors will outweigh the winners.
Wozniacki is always signaling to her opponent, Ill be here, waiting for your next miss, so you better be perfect.
Slow and steady wins the race is an apt description not just for this past week, but for the 28-year-old Wozniackis year, and her career.
