aLONDON: Wimbledon second seed Caroline Wozniacki shouted herself hoarse watching Denmark bow out of the football World Cup, she revealed after breezing through her first round match on Monday.
Wozniacki, a keen football fan, was left feeling a little croaky after going through the roller-coaster of her homeland’s second round knockout match with Croatia.
A 1-1 draw after extra time, Croatia won 3-2 on penalties Sunday to progress to the quarter-finals.
Wozniacki had special praise for Denmark’s goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, the man of the match, who pulled off a string of saves to keep the Danes’ hopes alive.
“I lost my voice a little bit last night from the screaming, the ups and the downs, the excitement and it was definitely a tough loss but they did their best,” the world number two said. “Our goalkeeper definitely saved us quite a few times throughout the tournament so he definitely deserves an A-plus.”
