Former tennis star Caroline Wozniacki shared a message on social media during her appearance at Wimbledon – the same week Rory McIlroy was spotted at the Grand Slam. The pair were romantically involved between 2011 and 2014 and were briefly engaged before the golfing icon called off the relationship.
The 2018 Australian Open winner travelled to SW19 this week and shared images of her Wimbledon visit on Instagram, captioning them: “The grass @wimbledon is always greener.” The Danish player’s post arrived shortly after the Masters victor was seen watching Novak Djokovic compete at the All England Club.
Wearing his Green Jacket while seated next to his wife, Erica Stoll, the Northern Irish golfer found himself in the spotlight courtesy of Djokovic, who issued a playful challenge following his second round triumph over Stefanos Tsitsipas. During his post-match interview on court, the 24-time Grand Slam winner paused and said: “Rory, Justin [Thomas], obviously Luke [Donald], it’s nice to see you guys. Congrats Team Europe on the Ryder Cup, I watched you guys.
“Rory, what a beautiful jacket. Is that a Masters jacket? It must be. Round of applause for Rory for the Masters, please. I want that jacket. I’ll play you. This jacket for that jacket, we’ll play tennis! No golf. I want to thank them obviously for being present. I know they arrived early and stayed all day so thank you guys. It really means a lot seeing you here.”
Djokovic – who turned 39 in May – is targeting Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles but has managed to draw level with another of the Swiss icon’s milestones. His third-round win against Arthur Rinderknech on Friday saw Djokovic match Federer’s record of 105 men’s singles match victories at Wimbledon. Following the match, he said: “To be able to make history of this sport is a huge honour and privilege, and particularly here.
“I am not interested in 105 or 106, I am just trying to win that match on a given day. I was quite stressed out. I had more tension than usual. But sometimes you just have to find a way to win, and I’m happy I did that today.”
Wozniacki was at Wimbledon for Djokovic’s triumph over the Frenchman, though it remains unclear whether she attended his match. The 35-year-old is a former World No. 1 but never progressed beyond the fourth round at the prestigious slam.
She initially stepped away from tennis in 2020 but staged a comeback at the 2023 Canadian Open and the US Open. Wozniacki sat out the entire 2025 season following the birth of her third child and disclosed in November that same year that a second return to the sport would be improbable due to her family responsibilities.
