Caroline Wozniacki has made an almighty splash onto the WTA tour and has had many top players hoping to avoid her in tournament draws - knowing that she is one of the most dangerous 'floaters' in the events.

Junior Wimbledon winner in 2006 and Australian Open runner-up in the same year, Wozniacki has showed she can perform at the highest level and it shouldn't be long before she is challenging for senior honours. And she is still only 17.

While most girls the same age are still to make their debuts on the WTA tour, Wozniacki became a professional tennis player just after her 14th birthday.  Now she has decided enough is enough and wants to make her move on the full tour rather than playing junior events. And why not?

'She has breezed into the fourth round at Indian Wells with an impressive victory against Maria Kirilenko and looks set to give the experienced and successful Svetlana Kuznetsova something to think about in the last 16'


In 2006 while playing a limited schedule on the WTA tour, she defeated five top 100 players and improved her ranking to a credible 237 by the end of the year.

Last year was going to be a big breakthrough year for the young lady form Odense.  She was set to become the biggest tennis star Denmark had ever seen. 

The only other Danish stars to have made a successful career out of tennis in recent years are Kenneth Carlsen and Kristian Pless, but Wozniacki is in a different league. The confident Scandinavian improved her ranking to number 60 after starting 2007 with challenger tournament victories in Ortisei in Italy and Las Vegas.  Her best WTA tour event in the early part of the season was a quarter-final spot in Fes and a second round in Estoril, where she defeated fourth seed Martina Muller in the first round.
