“On a Little Different Field”: Tennis Mothers Caroline Wozniacki and Dominika Cibulkova Reunite

Caroline Wozniacki came into the spotlight after her heroic victory at the Australian Open 2018. The former World No. 1 has triumphed over 3o titles in her professional career. After struggling with injuries, the Danish player finally retired in January 2020. She spent a total of 71 weeks ranked No. 1 on the WTA circuit.

Dominika Cibulkova is a Slovak former tennis player. Known for her aggressive style, Cibulkova has grabbed 8 WTA titles and 2 ITF titles in her career. A final appearance at the 2014 Australian Open where she lost to Li Na was one of her most significant accomplishments.

Recently, the iconic tennis players bumped into each other in a not-so-familiar setting.
