Flashback: Caroline Wozniacki Goes Sand Boarding In Dubai
Ahead of Sunday's main draw start, the former world No. 1 reminisces about her past Dubai excursions
2011 Dubai champion Caroline Wozniacki tried her luck at sand boarding in the spectacular dunes outside Dubai.
Caroline Wozniacki was in attendance at the women’s draw ceremony of the 2019 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Saturday.
The former World No. 1 is making her eighth appearance in the Championships; she lifted the trophy in 2011 (d. Kuznetsova) and finished runner-up last year to Elina Svitolina. She has also made the semi-finals on four other occasions, making this tournament a special place for the Dane.
“I love coming back here to Dubai. I have so many great memories here, obviously winning the title, going far many times here and just playing well in these courts,” said Wozniacki at the draw ceremony.
“I just have so many great experiences off the court. I did the sand boarding one year, and I also went to Wild Wadi with Dubai Duty Free. I am going to the Burj Khalifa tomorrow, which will be a lot of fun.
