Exclusive interview with caroline's parents: Pride and need

MELBOURNE (Ekstra Bladet): They have followed their daughter around the globe.

Piotr as caroline's through a coach, counselor, companion and father.

Anna as the personification of the sought ’home base’, she many years attempted to create for her on the rejsevejen. As the mother, who stood ready in the back, put the shirt over her shoulders, conjured livretten forward and offered a confidential talk.

Caroline She pointer has really been a familieprojekt. A gigantic time-waster of mine. And now the nuclear family, with older brother Patrik as the fourth member total in Melbourne to round it all of.

Here is where Patrik as a new father and Anna as dog-sitting had to settle with the result, as the distance as Caroline in 2018, brought his greatest triumph.

- of Course I'm here, when is the last time. We started it all up as a family, and now we would like to close the chapter together as a family. It means a lot to us, says Anna Wozniacki, who very rarely has spoken in the press along the way.

She does, however, like words, to the thoughts and emotions that fills her when she is ultimately looking back on caroline's career.

- As a mother I am very proud, of course, when I think that it is my daughter, who has done so much. It was me who gave birth to her, opdragede her and have followed her.

She blows his bright laughter several times in the conversation, while Piotr is different serious. For, as we speak, is he still the coach who must perform one last time together with his play.

it is Therefore premature, he feels, to put words in caroline's career.

- It is very hard for me to answer now, for I do not think that this is the last tournament or last match. We have the same routines as always, for it is important. If we took it as a kind of tourist trip, so would Caroline not be able to perform.

Piotr Wozniacki is so mentally kampgear. A state, as in fact he welcomes to leave. It is evident from his response to what he, respectively, will miss and not miss at tennisturen.

- I can probably better answer about a year, but there has been a high stress along the way. Who have been waiting for a new game all the time and thus the new stress to be the best version of themselves. The I am me to get away from. And the long flights, he says, while Anna Wozniacki notes, to their hotel room for the often also have been a waiting room:

- We have spent really much time on hotels. Passive time where you are not productive. It has been boring, and I will not miss.

- But I will miss the adrenaline about caroline's matches. I am also nervous when she plays, but the feeling in the big finals – wow.

the Wow-factor, they must now find in other corners of life.

- I must clearly not be a pensioner, so I get extremely fast old. I will keep me active, for then you are too young. I would quickly get tired of that go home and relax, says Piotr Wozniacki, who has more things in the pipeline.

- I must do something that I can be happy. I must investigate some options, and it will probably not within tennisverdenen. I have otherwise got many offers in a consultant role within the industry. People know that I no longer will sit on the trænerbænken. But I have not decided anything yet.

Thus, Anna is not sure that she is going to see so much more to her husband.

- Maybe sounds strange, but I would like to go out to travel, the depositor she with a wry smile.

- We have been many places, but we have not been there on our own terms. I would like to have Piotr with. And so, I would like to play tennis with him as a coach. It is we just started on in Miami. But I wonder if he is going to travel a lot again?

Without Anna Wozniacki was decidedly concerned about sending a very young Caroline out into the world, when she herself was at home with Patrik, she felt the soothing, Piotr was at her side in an industry where young girls sometimes ends up in the wrong coach's hands.

In an industry with Piotrs words is marked by the many different cultures that populate it. The joys have been clearly in the majority, and he is not completely dismissive, perhaps, to help young people tennistalenter on the way.

- There are many things we could have done differently, and that we instead had to learn from. With the experience we have today, there is much that could be passed on to other parents and children.

- But I would never go into someone else's house and stand and tell the residents how they should do it. It should, if appropriate, be a little on the distance, for we are all different as people and choose different paths towards the goal. Some by road, others on the freeway. They can be good both two.

Although Piotr Wozniacki has been the most important player in his daughter's career, many other contributed to both he and Caroline found a foothold in the tennisturen.

And them am he to invite and thank the 18. may, where she will play afskedskamp in the Royal Arena.

- I already have a long list, and hopefully people have the time to come. There are so many at home, who have helped us with both the tennis and sponsormæssige, he says.

- There are the first sponsors, advisors and people who helped us to take the first steps in the clubs in Køge, denmark and Farum. Them I would like to see in the eyes and say thank you.

- In Denmark, does not exist the same opportunities as in the great tennisnationer, but the evening we shall together rejoice in everything that Caroline has done.
