Since I be No. 1, I for do something right."[165]

Thru out ein career, na Wozniacki typically approach de net only to retrieve short balls, wey na she rarely dey choose to finish points at de net. Alongsyd ein defensive skills, further strengths dey include ein mental fortitude, determination, den competitive spirit.[167] Na Wozniacki state say she dey prefer hard den grass courts; she dey like hard courts secof de regularity of de bounce, whereas de fast pace of grass courts dey allow am to defend effectively.
