Wozniacki, who has won 30 WTA titles in her career, spent 71 weeks as the top-ranked player in the women's game.

The farewell exhibition contest for the Danish player, which was initially slated for 2020, finally happened a couple of years after a COVID-induced postponement. While she was initially supposed to take on Serena Williams in her final match, it was Angelique Kerber whom she defeated in front of a cheering home crowd.

The 2018 Australian Open champion mentioned after her farewell match that it was a lot of fun to have ended her career at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen after playing against her childhood friend. The two players also share Polish ancestry.

"It was a lot of fun. I think we've run a lot as I was expecting. It was a fun match. We've known each other since maybe we were seven or nine. It's been a long time and obviously, we've known each other so well so to have her here in front of my home crowd, on my home court means a lot," the Dane said.

Caroline Wozniacki recently enjoyed a stint as a commentator for the Tennis Channel.
