Caroline Wozniacki wins Indian Wells Tournament - gets ready for Miami tournament

Professional tennis often is thought of mainly as a mental game – and to a slightly lesser extent, a technical game – but with each passing year, it’s become more physical, which is largely why 20-year-old Caroline Wozniacki holds the No. 1 ranking.
On Sunday, she won her 14th title by taking the prestigious BNP Paribas Open title with a 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 victory over Marion Bartoli. It is only the Dane’s second WTA Premier mandatory tournament crown, but perhaps her most important one.

She came into the tournament in the Californian desert with her top spot at risk and never faltered. She crushed a woman whom she never had beaten, Maria Martinez Sanchez, in the third round; took the legs out from another promising player, No. 22 Alisa Kleybanova, in three sets in the quarterfinals; watched her close friend, the talented Victoria Azarenka, retire once again from a match with an injury; completely out-steadied three-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova in a mind-numbing 6-1, 6-2 victory; and then withstood a creative and ambitious charge from Bartoli in the final, who said afterward that she cried “tears of exhaustion.”.......

Yes it is nice to see a Danish tennis player on top of the world.

Especially one who has Polish roots.

While Wozniacki is the queen of Danish sports, she has Polish roots. Her mother and father were born in Poland......

Wouldn't you agree? ;)

MediaWatch: Wouldn't you agree? ;) Sadly, she never would have reached #1 in the world in Poland as a Pole. Not because of sponsors, or anything else - but simply because Poland's attitude towards sport is very much behind the West :( (personally, the American approach is what we should all be striving for)

That may be about Poland.

But you never know. Give it time.

Agnieszka Radwanska from Poland is ranked number 9 in the world and I've seen her hang in there with the top tennis players like Clijsters, Wozniacki and some of the great Russian tennis players.

That's nothing to sneeze at.

But you're right, maybe it would be good to strive for the American approach when it comes to tennis.

But I don't think the Danish, Serbian, Russian or German approach would be so bad either given the great tennis players from those countries.

The number one mens tennis player today is the Slav/Serbian Djokovic
