This is Caroline Wozniacki’s ninth time at the Australian Open. She first played in the juniors as a 13-year old, and she remembers it well.

“It doesn’t feel too long ago actually,” she said. “We were having the players lounge under the Hisense Arena. Back then it was called something different. I mean, I saw the big stars play. You know, you got over here, you could have a sneak peek of the big names at that time.

“I remember someone once confused me with Daniela Hantuchova . They thought I just finished up a mixed doubles. They were like, ‘Daniela, can we have your autograph?’ I said, ‘I’m not Daniela’. They said, ‘Yes, you are, we just saw you’. That was very funny.

“I remember that. I even remember where I played. I think I played on the last court on the left. So, yeah, it’s fun to think back. A lot of things have happened since then. Yeah, I played the finals here, as well, in the juniors one year. So it’s good memories.”
