Caroline Wozniacki stresses winning Grand Slam title still a priority

Former top-ranked player Caroline Wozniacki stressed that winning a Grand Slam singles title is still a priority and she’s finding way to make this a reality.

The Dane recently hired Michael Mortensen, the former coach of China’s Li Na, in the hopes of improving her ranking. Her ranking has fallen out of the world’s top ten after Romania’s Simona Halep became a new member of the elite list.

“I don’t think anything has gone wrong [with the fall in rankings] and being world number one for two years is a pretty good effort,” Wozniacki said in an interview with Al Jazeera at this week’s Qatar Open.

“I’ve achieved basically anything I could on the tour. I’ve won 21 tournaments and been number one for so long but winning a grand slam definitely is the biggest goal of mine that I haven’t achieved yet. You always try and improve so obviously that’s the incentive when you onto the practice courts.”
