Caroline Wozniacki Inducted Into Orange Bowl Tennis Hall Of Fame

The Orange Bowl Committee introduced Caroline Wozniacki as the 2023 Orange Bowl Tennis Hall of Fame inductee during a ceremony at the March 30 day session of the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium.

Caroline Wozniacki won the Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships 18-and-under singles title in 2005, propelling her to an incredibly decorated professional career.

Wozniacki, a former world No. 1 and a Grand Slam Champion, played her first full professional season on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tour in 2007, cracking the Top 100 for the first time and finishing the year ranked No. 64. In 2008, she won her first three titles, made the fourth rounds of the Australian and U.S. Opens, and finished the season ranked No. 12 in the world. Going into the 2010 season, Wozniacki secured six more WTA titles, launching her to No. 1 in the world, the first Scandinavian woman to accomplish the feat.

Before Wozniacki, no Danish player – male or female – had ever placed within the top 30 rankings, and in 2016, she served as Denmark’s flag bearer at the Rio Olympic Games. Throughout her illustrious career, she won 30 WTA singles titles and held the No. 1 ranking three different times for a total of 71 weeks.
