Caroline Wozniacki may have lost her no. 1 ranking but the Dane has not
lost her sharp tongue as she lashed out at former world no.1s Martina
Navratilova and Martina Hingis for saying she did not deserve to be
ranked no. 1 since she had not won a Slam.
"I would never say Martina was No. 1 when there was no-one playing, or
that she was the best when no-one was playing. That would be
disrespectful," Wozniacki said in Dubai where she is playing this week's
Premier WTA event.
"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 favorite 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."
Oh, Snap!. Although I can't recall Martina Hingis actually making any comments about Caroline not deserving her ranking, only Navratilova was making that perfectly clear.
