Granted it is her home country tournament but isnt it strange for a #1 ranked player to play an event with nobody else in the top 30 in the World rankings even entered:

(1) Caroline WOZNIACKI (DEN) vs. Irina FALCONI (USA)
Angelique KERBER (GER) vs. (WC) Karolina PLISKOVA (CZE)
Kurumi NARA (JPN) vs. Zuzana KUCOVA (SVK)
Albera BRITANI vs. (ITA) Alexandra PANOVA (RUS)

(3) Bethanie MATTEK-SANDS (USA) vs. (WC) Malou EJDESGAARD (DEN)
Johanna LARSSON (SWE) vs. Vesna DOLONTS (RUS)
Q vs. Q
(5) Barbora STRYCOVA-ZAHLAVOVA (CZE) vs. Sofia ARVIDSSON (SWE)

(7) Jelena DOKIC (AUS) vs. Q
Shuai ZHANG (CHN) vs. Julia BOSERUP (USA)
Melanie OUDIN (USA) vs. Michaella KRAJICEK (NED)
(4) Lucie SAFAROVA (CZE) vs. Q

(6) Anastasija SEVASTOVA (LAT) vs. Simona HALEP (ROU)
Petra MARTIC (SLO) vs. Vitalia DIATCHENKO (RUS)
Olga SAVCHUK (UKR) vs. Alona BONDARENKO (UKR)
(2) Klara ZAKAPALOVA (CZE) vs. Kathrin WOERLE (GER)

Klara Zakapalova the #2 seed in an event headed by the World #1!?!

And while playing her home country event just for the sake of it might make sense if this were a hard or clay court event, the pre Wimbledon tournament season is short. Only 2 weeks worth. Wouldnt it make sense for the #1 player who obviously needs major improvements to her grass court game to play in a tougher field at Eastbourne or even Birmingham as her warm up event. No matter though, I guess she sees this as an easy opportunity to pad her ranking points and keep her hollow #1 ranking, and to pad her career stats (eg- things like look I wont tournaments on every surface and multiple grass court tournaments, lol).
 
She's obsessed by keeping hold of her joke no.1 ranking. She'll get knocked out by an agressive hitter in the 3rd/4th round of Wimbledon.

I know, it is getting really pathetic at this point. She is so desperate to keep #1 she goes plays tiny tournaments everywhere and wears herself out for the slams, destroying her already slim chances (given her lacking the needed weaponary and offense) of reaching finals at the big events. Yet the WTA create a stupid ranking system which rewards her for playing 30 events a year.

And she actually thinks her #1 ranking holds any significance at this point. When really as her showings in slams and against the top players get worse and worse, such as getting destroyed by an aging Hantuchova on clay in Roland Garros 3rd round, she just becomes more of a laughing stock to fans and experts alike.
 
I was going to make a thread on this.
I agree, the field is really bad. The only players I can see beating her if they play at their BEST are Safarova and Mattek-Sands.
I understand she's playing her home tournament, but she's also probably getting a HUGE appearance fee, and to me, I don't think it's only ranking points that make Wozniacki tick, I think it's money. I think that's why she's content being #1 and not being a GS Champion, because being #1 she gets all the endorsements like 'Turkish Airways' . .

Anyway, I think if she really wants to win Wimbledon, she would have gone to play Birmingham, at least Ivanovic, Kanepi, Peng, Vinci, Errani etc are playing there, a stronger field and it's a Grass tournament. E-Boks is a HARD tournament.
Is she dumb? Does she expect 1 grass court tournament will be fine? Knowing her she'll even try and play S'Hertogenbosch and Eastbourne in the same week (I know it's not possible, but she probably would).
 
You make some good points. She might have already decided she isnt good enough to win a slam so pile up the prize money and endorsement money by pushing to keep her hollow #1 rank as long as possible. Then be burnt out or even retired in a couple years rich and set for life, but with stats of alot of time at #1 and alot of tournament titles (tiny ones mostly) which will give many an inflated impression of her abilities and career.

And she probably figures she doesnt have a hope at Wimbledon especialy with her game (which with her current game she is so right), so doesnt really give a darn about her preperation for there. Her goal is probably to match her round of 16 showing from last year and anything more is a bonus, lol!
 
Woz humour seems too rich lately.

Safarova or Dokic can get her :p They're playing for $220,000. Like artificially padding your on-line frags by picking on noobs. :p Come on Caroline, you can do better than this!

According to the WTA site, Woz is still nearly 3500 points ahead of Li. There's currently a little poll over on womens tennis forum. Whom is better, Li or Woz? Currently 160-27. Most Woz votes seem pity votes lol

If Li wins one of the two remaining slams, eg Wim, and Woz doesn't, will Woz still be No1?
 
This is beyond stupid....
An indoor hard court tournament in the same week as Birmingham?
Is it really that cold in Copenhagen to warrant an indoor event?
There really should be a 2nd grasscourt tournament in the same week as Birmingham... This is a total joke.
 
I don't think Wozniacki is a joke.

If anything, her #1 ranking says way more about the rest of the women's field than it does about her. All Woz does is turn up at each tourny and do the best she can with the game that she has.

The fact that none of the other players have been able to put the effort in outside of GS's shouldn't be taken out on Wozniacki. It's all the others that need to buck their ideas up, not her.

Look at all the seeds that fell in the FO...tells you everything about the flimsy nature of the typical top 20 female tennis player.
 
She committed to this tournament long time ago as a way to get some publicity for the event, it is not related to her wanting to be #1 at all cost, it does help her of course. On the other hand everybody can do the same and join every tournament possible, the trick is to constantly go deep on every tournament.
 
Stop complaining, we all know that she wouldnt be #1 if Serena didnt injure herself.
It´s pretty simple, Serena injured, Kim plays just a few tournaments anyway.
And as for the others they are inconsistent as sh´t.
The WTA is full of chokers and headcases.
Also she´s playing a ton of midget events to collect points and whatsoever.

We can only hope for Serena to return or Na Li to continue GOATing around the tour for the rest of the year.
 
Wozniacki is playing a Hard/Indoor event to prep for Wim????

:confused:
Anyway, if she committed, she has to honour it but I do hope she plays some grass event b4 the big one also.

No, because as you said, it is her home country tournament. Pretty common for players to do that. It helps them stay popular in the home country, helps grow tennis in that country, probably gets them some good appearance money, and avoids the bad publicity they would get for not playing in their own country.
 
Wozniacki's schedule for this year

1. Syndey
2. AO
3. Dubai
4. Doha
5. Indian Wells
6. Miami
7. Charlston
8. Stuttgart

11. Brussels
12. Wozniacki Open (Copenhagen)
13. Eastbourne

You forgot the FO.So that makes it 15.

I can understand Wozniacki playing in her native Copenhagen.Djokovic always plays in Belgrade for the same reason.But I agree she could try to trim some of the lesser tournaments from her schedule and concentrate a bit more on the Slams!
 
If I read correctly, Copenhagen tournament wouldn't count towards her ranking. She already has her best 14 (or is it 16) points on her ranking.

If this is true, then I agree with the money aspect of it. I believe under her Dad's tutelage, that's the phase they are in now. Working on fattening their wallets as much as possible now and focusing on legacy later. I can't fault her if that is her goal.

However, her game is ass and she has the personality of a doorknob so even when I try to watch her matches I find myself changing the channel.
 
I actually don't care who is at no 1 in WTA. It's probably more fun that Wozniacki is at no 1 (with Clijsters holding 2 Slams, the WTF + some other masters) so I can openly critisize her!:)

Well put it this way, if you were in her position, would you really care that much about winning a slam title if you knew you didn't have the weapons to do so?


Gotta be somewhat realistic; sure it would be nice to win a slam, but she doesn't have the game to do it. Better to just pile up the money and leave the tour filthy rich.
 
It's like she's not even trying to win a slam anymore. We're into the grass court season now and she's playing a rinky dink hard court tournament with a bad field instead of playing Birmingham. And before she played the French I face-palmed when I saw she was playing Brussels the week before. She had already played a crap load of clay tournaments but she just had to play one more while most of the other top players were resting up. She wins Brussels and then of course flames out in the third round of RG.

That's how the ranking system work. You can't blame her if her points add up more than the other players in 12 months stretch. And there's only limited number of events she can add to her ranking point. It's not that she accumulate all the points by playing 50 events in a year. The ranking system don't favor part-time tennis, but full-time tennis. That's part of a challenge for being a pro athlete.

Yes, she is stupid. Wimbledon is the real deal--why commit to some event which has no bearing on her game before a major? She seems to be ducking and dodging since her early FO exit, and hoping no one brings up her slamless status by the time Wimbledon rolls around.
 
She is entered in the Doubles also. I can understand why Melanie Oudin and Klara Zakopalova entered this tourney, I can't understand why Wozniacki did.

I think she will burn out soon... I didn't see the motivation in her eyes at RG that I saw a year or two ago.

Things she can do to improve:

  1. Fire Daddy and find a different coach.
  2. Quit calling Daddy on court every time you miss a forehand
  3. Go back to the racquet that got you to the only GS final you have ever played.
  4. Stop training for 3 hours before every match
  5. Quit eating Cheeseburgers after training for 3 hours before every match
  6. Play tournaments that matter, not just because they exist.
  7. Have your good friend Serena teach you to hit a forehand
  8. Stop playing every freaking tournament
  9. Stop playing every freaking tournament (listed twice for importance)
  10. Get a serve

I still think she has tons of room to improve (and she will - she's only 20) but her scheduling is dumb quite frankly, it baffles me.

She is the top player in the world. Her priority should be to peak on the grass for Wimby. Her game is not best suited and she should be trying to aclimitise her game to the grass asap.

Chokesters looked like she was back at the FO, Serverena and Queen Vee are rusty.

Sam and Fran have no chance, and the (EEE's) Eastern European Erratic-A's (Petra, Vika, Maria, Vera, Anastasia, Sveta, Aga etc) are too hard to predict, its another open GS, maybe not to the extent of RG, and she should be trying to capitalise.

If its point she's after, she could potenitally gain 1720 more from Wimbledon alone, after that she basically will be defening major points until next years FO, and a chance to win a slam. The Home tournament I can sort of undertstand her dilema, but if she wants to define herself as a champion, she needs to make the tough decision to trim the fat of her schedule, Danish fat in this case, and she needs to be chasing the bacon elsewhere!
 
Li Na will win Wimbledon. If she plays as well as she did in Australia and the French nobody can stop her, she probably wont even drop a set in that case. Clijsters beat her and Wozniacki nearly did in Australia, but neither are grass courters and Kim is in nowhere near her form back then.

I also dont agree Fran has no chance on grass. IMO she has a better chance than Wozniacki. Hasnt she made the quarters of Wimbledon when she was playing nowhere near as well as today. Losing the French Open final might fuel her to make a strong showing at Wimbledon. She is one of the only women on tour who has the volleying ability and flair for grass (for those who dont have the monster power and athleticsm).

Im sorry but it is almost as if she treats a slam like just any other tournament, quite content to play exessively to rack up points and cash. The money in womens tennis is massive at the moment, on top of her endorsements so its not like she needs to play. Her father has his own money, so does her brother, its not as if she is the sole breadwinner at the home.

Rant over, but she is D to the UMB!

She's just on the wta tour to make millions for her and her dad. It's a desk job, except that it's thousands of $ an hour. She's a disgrace to the former multiple slam champions.

As I pointed out recently in another thread, this is simply not true. Wozniacki's playing schedule is roughly average compared to other top players. She's not wearing herself out for slams anymore than others are. It's nowhere near 30 events a year, she's on about 22 right now.

Try again.
 
Caro is doing is what all the pro players are doing....competing throughout the entire year. Although there are few players that are lazy, lack commitment/responsibility, and only seeks personal interest.

I don't want to mention their names.
 
Yes, she should definitelly stop doing what she is doing (obviously is not working ....) just to please a bunch of people in the internet...

Yes but if she skipped the boutique events like for e.g Brussells then maybe she would have have done better at the FO. She picked up and injury there and may explain her dismal performance against DaniHani.

If she spent the week prepping rather than playing she would have been fresher at the FO, instead she succumbed to the allure of a few $$$ and points.

Someone in her camp needs to inform her that Winning Brussells and the Wozniacki open do NOTHING for her career, in fact they only put more pressure on her in the eyes of the media to win a major.

Oh, no it is not. She's improved her fitness over the past 12 months, but it is her game that is suffering. She has no offensive weapons, and as pusher, no tactical mind to speak of. That's why many point to the parent issue, and need for a training makeover.

Indeed. The tour basically has a mug with no game (for elite pro standards) as #1. Atleast Safina, Jankovic, and Ivanovic had some talent for all their shortcomings (largely mental in all cases).

Wozniacki not only has no power most of the time, she isnt even a crafty player, she doesnt have variety, finesse, hit with much spun, volley well. All she does is run and defend well and not make errors. What an insult that some compared her to Hingis. In another era she would be Judith Weisner or Helen Kelesi, actually probably not even that.
 
Think about what you are saying about the rest of the tour when you make such comments. It means all of them(Serena, Clijsters, Li, Schiavone, Sharapova, the whole lot) are that much worse by comparison.

It's rather obvious that the only person with "issues" is you.

Let's think about this.

She's alot better looking than you.
She's got alot more personality than you.
She's more successful than you.
She alot wealthier than you
She's alot more popular than you'll never be.
She plays a hell of alot better tennis than you'll ever play.

You constantly trying to put her down, post after post, thread after thread, just makes you look like a complete loser, full of bitterness, envy and jealousy. Maybe you should start eating some of the 'Krispy Kremes' that you like talking about so much - it might cheer up your bitter, miserable, toxic disposition.
