卡罗琳·沃兹尼亚奇

卡罗琳·沃兹尼亚奇（丹麦语：Caroline Wozniacki，1990年7月11日－），丹麦前职业网球选手，她曾经登上单打世界排名第一长达67周，共先后三度登顶，并在2010年、2011年成为年终冠军，使她成为北欧第一位单打排名第一的女子选手，至今赢得1座大满贯金杯，丈夫是已退役篮球员大卫·李。2009年，年仅十九岁时闯进美国网球公开赛决赛，但输给金·克莱斯特尔斯。在现今所有现役网球女选手中，沃兹尼亚奇是少数拥有至少20座WTA单打冠军的选手；她单在2010年便拿下6座WTA单打冠军，成名甚早，隔年（2011年）她同样取得6座单打WTA冠军。沃兹尼亚奇在双打也拿过2座WTA冠军。2018年澳大利亚网球公开赛，打败时任世界第一的哈勒普，三度叩关大满贯女单决赛，终于夺得生涯第一座大满贯冠军，并再次重回世界第一。沃兹尼亚奇的父母皆是出身自波兰的天主教家庭，并且皆是运动员，父亲是足球员，母亲则是波兰排球国手；由于父亲签约给丹麦的足球俱乐部，因此搬至丹麦居住。沃兹尼亚奇便是出生在丹麦，并持丹麦国籍。哥哥Patrik Wozniacki（英语：Patrik Wozniacki）目前是足球员，效力于丹麦球队Hvidovre IF。沃兹尼亚奇能够流利的使用英语、丹麦语和波兰语。沃兹尼亚奇曾在受访时表示，除了网球之外，她对于手球、足球、游泳、弹钢琴等都很有兴趣。她是英格兰足球超级联赛中利物浦足球俱乐部的球迷，她在2011年卡达女子公开赛中穿着有史蒂芬·杰拉德签名的利物浦球衣上场。根据福布斯2011年公布的排行榜，沃兹尼亚奇是该年收入第二高的女性运动员；同年六月运动杂志SportsPro公布的最有商业市场的运动员排名，沃兹尼亚奇名列第九。而富比世2013年公布的女性运动员收入排行榜，沃兹尼亚奇以1360万美元排名第七。2019年富比世统计收入最高的女运动员，沃兹尼亚奇以年收入750万美元，排名第6名。2012年沃兹尼亚奇发行了单曲《氧气》(Oxygen)。2013年12月31日她与交往2年的北爱尔兰高尔夫球职业选手罗伊·迈克罗伊在推特上宣布订婚，但二人于2014年5月分手。2017年11月3日她与美国篮球职业选手大卫·李在推特上宣布订婚。沃兹尼亚奇是典型的防御型底线球员，击球方面使用较多的上旋，击球路径弧形较高较大以确保绝对不会挂网，反拍强于正拍，反拍可打出较深落点的攻击球，正拍则以稳定为主。因移位迅速、体力也好，能救回许多看似制胜的快速球，被昵称为“瓦墙”，她也常常参加马拉松，并能以3小时多的成绩完赛。但她由于偏向保守稳定，即便有攻击机会，若有些冒险的可能，便不会尝试攻击，因此在比赛中欠缺掌握先发制人的机会，常常是把来球推回去，故在国外也有“"Push"niacki”的揶揄（意指“推球雅琪”），而如果遭遇攻击连续且凶猛的对手，常会有“倒墙”的危机。年初澳大利亚网球公开赛名列第四种子，这也是沃兹尼亚奇第一次在大满贯比赛中名列前八种子，但在第四轮遭到中国女将李娜以6-4, 6-3直落二盘淘汰，但也使她世界排名上升到第3名。接下来她以第二种子参加印第安维尔斯公开赛，沃兹尼亚奇进入决赛但输给了前世界第一的耶莱娜·扬科维奇，这使得她世界排名在上升到第2名；而迈阿密大师赛则在八强时输给了甫复出的前世界第一贾斯汀·海宁。在佛罗里达州举办的MPS集团锦标赛，她名列第一种子并成功进入决赛，并以6-2, 7-5直落二盘击败奥尔加·葛沃索娃夺得冠军，这是她该年度第一座WTA单打冠军。接下来的家庭轮杯网赛则在四强面对薇拉·兹沃纳列娃时因受伤被迫中途退赛。虽然受伤未愈，她仍参加红土赛季的比赛，接连在保时捷、罗马和马德里提前出局后，她闯进华沙公开赛八强，但仍在比赛中间因伤退赛。法网她则名列第三种子，并进入八强，但遭到最后的冠军弗兰切斯卡·斯齐亚沃尼以6-2, 6-3直落二盘淘汰。双打部分她则与达妮埃拉·汉图楚娃搭档，但在第二轮面对威廉姆斯姐妹前就因汉图霍娃右肩受伤而退赛。在草地赛季，她以卫冕冠军身份参加伊斯特本，但提前输给了阿拉瓦内·雷扎伊。沃兹尼亚奇以第三种子身份参加温网，但在第四轮遭到同属新生代的选手佩特拉·科维托娃以6-2, 6-0直落二盘横扫淘汰。而在首度举办的丹麦公开赛则名列第一种子，该比赛的创立很大一部分便是由于沃兹尼亚奇在国内的知名度，她在决赛击败克拉拉·扎科帕洛娃，拿下该年第二座WTA冠军。在辛辛那提公开赛则在第三轮输给了玛丽昂·巴托莉；而在蒙特利尔举办的罗杰斯杯则名列第二种子，她在半决赛面对斯维特拉娜·库兹涅佐娃，但因为大雨被迫延后两天，接下来在同一天内她击败库兹涅佐娃并在决赛中击败薇拉·兹沃纳列娃，拿下该年度第三座WTA冠军。而在纽黑文公开赛也卫冕成功，决赛以6-3, 3-6, 6-3击败娜迪亚·佩特洛娃，连续三个比赛接拿下冠军。因为世界排名第一的小威廉姆斯退赛，沃兹尼亚奇得以在美国公开赛名列第一种子，在四强遭到薇拉·兹沃纳列娃以6-4, 6-3直落二盘淘汰。但也让她和大威廉姆斯成为该年唯二在四大满贯赛事至少打进第四轮的女子选手。沃兹尼亚奇在日本东京第二轮胜出后成为第一个获得年终赛参赛资格的选手，她并在决赛击败耶莲娜·德门蒂耶娃获得该年度第5座WTA冠军。接下来的中国网球公开赛，她在第三轮打败佩特拉·科维托娃后确定取代小威廉姆斯登上世界排名第一宝座，这也是第一位丹麦选手在职业网坛上登上世界第一；而后她在决赛击败薇拉·兹沃纳列娃赢得她该年度第6座WTA冠军。年底WTA巡回赛总决赛，沃兹尼亚奇与弗兰切斯卡·斯齐亚沃尼、萨曼莎·斯托瑟和耶莲娜·德门蒂耶娃被分到同一组，第一天她以6-1,6-1击败德门蒂耶娃，但在第二天输给了斯托瑟，不过在第三天她以3–6,
