OK… ok, may be that was not really nice from Martina, but it could have ended over there.
The 55 years old legend enraged the Dane when she said that Caroline was not a real nr.1.
‘I would never say Martina was number one when there was no-one playing,’ Wozniacki said, ‘or that she was the best when no-one was playing. That would be disrespectful.’
‘I think I have to be honest, lost a little bit of respect. Because I respect what they have achieved,’
‘She (Navratilova) won so many Grand Slams, her touch was unbelievable. Martina Hingis was unbelievable as well – for me my favourite player.
‘But I think they should respect players that are playing now as well. Because they know how hard it is. You don’t just wake up and say okay I want to win this tournament, and it just happens like this.’
‘They always have to make comments, and that’s what they get paid for – to be comments, because they are not playing any more. And they need to stir everything up,’ Wozniacki said.
‘When I was number one they needed to make a story so in the beginning when I was coming up they were saying I was the next big thing.
‘Then when I had been there for a while and it got boring. Then they said she hasn’t won a Grand Slam – because and because and because.
‘Soon it will be if Victoria (Azarenka) loses a match, ‘how could she lose a match?”
