Caroline Wozniacki raced into the fourth round of Wimbledon and then declared: “I’m not a victim.”
The former world number one ended the run of 16-year-old Ana Konjuh with a 6-3 6-0 victory to reach the last 16 at the All England Club for the first time in three years.
Wozniacki has been having a miserable run at grand slams, going out before the fourth round at her last five major tournaments, but she has looked in fine form so far here.
Following her very public split from former fiance Rory McIlroy, after wedding invitations had been posted out, and a first-round defeat at the French Open, Wozniacki headed to Miami for a holiday with Serena Williams.
The break seems to have done her the world of good.
Wozniacki is always a crowd favourite but insisted she does not need the sympathy vote.
She said: “I felt a lot of support from everybody. The crowd has been amazing.
“I think everyone here wants to make me a victim. I’m not a victim. I’m just playing tennis. I’m going about my life. I’m playing well. I’m in the second week.
“My private life has nothing to do with my tennis. When I’m out there, it’s a yellow ball, white lines, it’s about playing it over the net and inside the lines more than your opponent.”
