[edit]

Early hard court season

[edit]

Auckland Open

[edit]

Wozniacki began her season at the Auckland Open. She was the top seed and advanced to the final after successfully defeating Madison Brengle, Petra Martić, Sofia Kenin and Sachia Vickery. However, she would be defeated in straight sets by the same opponent who eliminated her in the previous year's quarterfinals, Julia Görges, in straight sets.[3]

Australian Open

[edit]
Wozniacki won her first slam at Melbourne Park.

Her next tournament was the Australian Open. She was seeded second, her highest seeding since the 2012 Australian Open. She defeated Mihaela Buzărnescu in straight sets before going on to beat Jana Fett in three sets after saving two match points.[4] She then beat Kiki Bertens and Magdaléna Rybáriková both in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, she beat Carla Suárez Navarro in three sets to advance to her second Australian Open semifinal since 2011. In the semifinals she beat Elise Mertens to advance to her third Grand Slam final and her first since 2014.[5]

Her last opponent was Simona Halep. Wozniacki took the opening set in a tiebreak, while Halep winning the second set.[6] The third set had the most breaks of serve. After a series of breaks, Wozniacki won two points in a row to reach championship point. Wozniacki won the point, the match and the championship, after Halep hit a backhand into the net to become the seventh woman to win the title after being match point down in Open Era.[7][8]

After winning her first Grand Slam title, she regained the world No. 1 ranking on 29 January 2018.[7] Wozniacki was last ranked No. 1 on 29 January 2012, exactly 6 years ago, and her new ascension beats Serena Williams' previous record of 5 years 29 days.[9]

Kerber got out to a fast start but the first set went to a tiebreak and ended in Wozniacki's favour. Kerber easily won set two. The third set was a marathon of long rallies but Wozniacki won in a gruelling two hours and 20 minutes.[13] Against Petra Kvitová, Wozniacki wasn't so lucky. She lost, despite having two chances to serve for the match.[14] However, with her Qatar performance, she became only the fourth player in WTA history to surpass $30,000,000 in career prize earnings.
