After years of disappointment and discouraging defeats, tennis star Caroline Wozniacki won the first Grand Slam title of her career Saturday evening in Melbourne. Wozniacki is the first player from Denmark, man or woman, to win a Grand Slam singles tournament. “My voice is shaking.”This was the 43rd Grand Slam appearance of Wozniacki’s career. In the first set, Wozniacki broke Halep’s serve early but Halep made a comeback late in the set when she was trailing 5-3. As important as the victory is for Wozniacki, the defeat stings for Halep, who, like Wozniacki, was playing the third Grand Slam final of her career after losing her first two.
