The new year is here, and the tennis world is already sparkling with joy—both on and off the court! Players have been soaking in the festive spirit, from watching dazzling fireworks under the night sky to cherishing precious family moments.
But stealing the spotlight this time? None other than Serena Williams’ former rival and dear friend, Caroline Wozniacki, who’s melting hearts with a proud mom moment this New Year.
Caroline isn’t just kicking off 2025 with her trademark charm; she’s doing it with an extra dose of pride as she celebrates her daughter’s latest milestone.
The Danish tennis sensation took to her Instagram story to share some heartwarming visuals from her family outing. While the exact location is not known, one can see Wozniacki along with her kids on a mountain filled with snow.
But what caught the attention further was Wozniacki’s proud moment as a mother, for her young daughter, Olivia, who is showing some great skills in the snow.
Sharing a video of her daughter skiing in the snow, Wozniacki shared that it was her first time doing the adventure. “5 days ago she had never seen a ski, now she is skiing down the main mountain,” the star player wrote.
She further shared a video of her daughter and herself as they can be seen sitting in a vehicle, and captioned it, “The best way to spend the first day of the new year ❤️.” But this is not it. Even Wozniacki’s son, James, did not remain away from the adventure.
Sharing a video of her son being guided as he skied down the mountain, Wozniacki wrote, “James had fun trying.” Remember, the star player tied the knot with retired NBA All-Star David Lee in 2019.
Together, the couple welcomed their daughter Olivia in 2021. They were blessed with another child the next year when in October 2022, they gave birth to James.
And now, the latest visuals highlight the determination of the young kids to try new things in life, with complete resilience, just like their mother and of course her best friend Serena Williams.
Wozniacki has shared a close bond with the 23-time tennis great over the years. In 2014, when Williams defeated Wozniacki by a close margin in the WTA Finals, the Dane was quite disappointed.
However, the former American-pro showed remarkable sportsmanship and was spotted entering the locker room and consoling Wozniacki. for the defeat.
Besides, when Wozniacki returned to court after turning down her retirement call, it was Williams who told her, “I’m going to cheer you on every step of the way, and if you ever need anything, I’m here.” Meanwhile, this is not the first time that such an adorable moment between Wozniacki and her children has come to light.
In an Instagram story she shared in January last year, Wozniacki highlighted how her children tuned in to television to watch her mother play during the Australian Open.
Expressing immense joy despite losing to Maria Timofeeva in the second round, the star player wrote, “Wasn’t the day I had hoped for, but this is everything ❤️!” And now, Wozniacki has more reasons to be proud as her daughter seems to be following in her footsteps.
Caroline Wozniacki’s daughter Olivia is determined to follow the same passion as her mother
Caroline Wozniacki has dazzled the tennis courts over the years, entertaining fans with her impeccable skills and talents. Now, it seems that even her daughter is developing a passion for the sport as has been shared by Wozniacki herself time and again.
After Wozniacki’s US Open run in 2023, she revealed how her daughter’s love for the sport is continuously evolving. “Yesterday, I tried getting Olivia outside after she woke up, but from the moment she opened her eyes, she kept asking, ‘Mama, did you bring the tennis balls back?’
I had forgotten, but thankfully, my dad had brought some soft ones. We ended up playing in the hotel room until lunch because she wouldn’t stop. It was fascinating,” she said. Yet again, in November last year, the star player highlighted how her daughter had already picked up racquets.
In an Instagram story, Wozniacki shared a clip of Olivia standing near the net while her grandfather gently threw balls for her to hit. Olivia showcased quite some skills as she hit the ball with amusing precision.
Taking pride in it, Wozniacki captioned, “This girl means business.” Now, it would be interesting to see if more such moments of pride emerge for Wozniacki as she spends more time with her family.
