Wozniacki confirmed her place on Dec. 1. The 21-year-old Danish star will be competing in the season’s first tournament for the fourth-consecutive year.
From Sports Australia:
“The Sydney International is the ideal preparation for the first Grand Slam of the year,” Wozniacki said.
However, Wozniacki’s highest finish was a three-set quarterfinal loss to American Serena Williams in 2009.
Wozniacki is coming off a 2011 season in which she added six WTA Tour titles to her name - Dubai, Indian Wells, Charleston, Brussels, Copenhagen and New Haven. She also made it to the semifinals of two Grand Slams - the Australian Open and the U.S. Open. She also ended her second-straight WTA season ranked at the top slot.
