BEIJING: Caroline Wozniacki said she was fulfilling her childhood dreams after she won a 30th WTA singles title with victory over Latvia’s Anastasija Sevastova in the China Open final on Sunday.
The Danish world number two was impressive all week in Beijing, never dropping a set and rarely looking troubled, sealing her spot in the WTA Finals Singapore in the process. The 28-year-old Wozniacki, who won her maiden Grand Slam at the Australian Open at the start of this year, was imperious against the unseeded Sevastova, winning 6-3, 6-3. It is her second China Open crown — she also won it in 2010 — and 30th overall. “I’m just happy to have reached 30 today, I’m going to enjoy that,” said Wozniacki, a former number one. “As a little kid I had a dream of becoming a professional tennis player, becoming number one in the world.
“Then after number one in the world, I wanted to win a Slam, then I wanted to lift trophies. “Having done everything, all of that, it’s pretty amazing. I think I had a dream of that.” She added. (AFP)
