Caroline Wozniacki has spent the vast majority of her life in a fishbowl, her every move monitored and detailed. She never complained, accepting that it is part of the business of being a top sportswoman, that if she told paparazzi not to take photos of her, it wouldn’t do any good. But now she’s getting out, and she couldn’t be happier.
“I think I had my first interview when I was eight or nine years old, it’s pretty crazy,” Wozniacki said in an interview at the Australian Open. “My whole life, I’ve been scrutinized, my career’s been scrutinized. So it’s nice to do what I want to do, not have to think twice about anything. Obviously, I want to make right decisions but just be able to live life. That’s the great thing about being an athlete, once you stop, there are always new people coming up and taking your spot, you can live a normal life, you can live a family life and have the best of both worlds, having your time in the spotlight but also just doing normal stuff.”
