Wozniacki was born in Odense in 1990 to Polish parents: her father, Piotr, a former professional footballer, coached her through her career, and her mother, Anna, played volleyball for Poland. She began playing at seven, won the Wimbledon girls' title in 2006 and in 2008 won in Stockholm, the first WTA title for a Danish woman. She reached the US Open final in 2009 and became world No. 1 in October 2010, the first Danish player to do so. She won the 2017 WTA Finals and the 2018 Australian Open, returning to No. 1 after a gap of six years, the longest since computer rankings began.
At the 2018 WTA Finals she announced that she had rheumatoid arthritis. She retired after the 2020 Australian Open, aged 29, having married the former NBA player David Lee in 2019. After the births of their two children she returned to the tour in 2023, and in 2024 reached the third round at Wimbledon. She has won 30 WTA singles titles and works as a tennis analyst for ESPN.
