World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki has been named the winner of the WTA’s Diamond Aces Award, presented to the player who consistently goes above and beyond in promoting women’s tennis to fans, media and local communities by performing off-court promotional and charitable activities.
“Women’s tennis has given me everything I have and I enjoy every opportunity I get to give back to the sport,” said Wozniacki.
“Not only is Caroline one of the best female athletes on the planet, she’s extremely conscious of the power she has to grow women’s tennis around the world,” said WTA CEO Stacey Allaster.
Wozniacki’s contributions include hosting a Kids Clinic at the Toray Pan Pacific Open, where she gave lessons to nearly 100 children. She also helped raise awareness for breast cancer in New Haven, and addressed fans in Tokyo on the behalf of the WTA players offering support after the devastating earthquake.
Former Diamond Aces award winners include Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, Gabriela Sabatini, Amanda Coetzer, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Hingis, Anastasia Myskina, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Ana Ivanovic, Elena Dementieva and Samantha Stosur.
