Love-all for Rory and Wozniacki
Roger Federer dropped the one point he played against a Rafael Nadal-impersonating Andy Roddick and also lost the match to Roddick.
Four of tennis’ biggest names took the court at Madison Square Garden on Monday night for the mix of playfulness and intense play that comes with exhibitions.
With Wozniacki a game away from losing 6-3, 6-4 to Sharapova, she invited her boyfriend onto the court a day after the golfer won the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida to ascend to No. 1 in the world for the first time.
“He wasn’t too pleased with me,” Wozniacki said later.
In jeans and a sweater, McIlroy showed off a one-handed backhand, and Sharapova hit his lob wide.
Asked if he was surprised to win the point, McIlroy said with a smile: “I’ve won a few off Caroline.”
Wozniacki has been ranked No. 1 for 67 weeks in her career, though she’s currently down to No. 4.
McIlroy knows he’ll need to stay on top for “another couple of years” to catch his girlfriend in that stat.
In between taking photos with fans after the match, McIlroy said, “It’s nice to take a little break from golf.”
The couple plan to meet up in Miami before he plays a World Golf Championship event there and she heads off to Indian Wells, California.
