Caroline Wozniacki comments on her health following disease diagnosis
Caroline Wozniacki is excited to start her new season. The world No. 3 has reached Auckland on Saturday and she aims to commence the 2019 in style. Before the 2018 US Open the Dane was diagnosed with the rheumatoid arthritis and she wants to give awareness on it through her voice. 'You have a big platform when you do what I do and I think there are so many ways you can do that (raise awareness)', said Wozniacki. 'We're figuring that out, first of all just saying I have rheumatoid arthritis already helps a lot of people. A lot of people have reached out to me, to tell me that they have the same or someone in their family does. There are more people who have it than you think.'
Commenting on how she is dealing with the disease on a daily basis, the 28-year-old added: 'I'm managing it. Every day is a new day and you feel how you feel. But I feel pretty good about it and it's about figuring out what little things work for me work and what makes me feel good. You learn along the way.'
At the WTA Finals before the tournament, Wozniacki had not revealed anything about her disease: 'I think winning in China was a big step for me. You know, I feel good and excited for here. It's obviously a tough challenge, but I'm looking forward to it', the Dane had said in a press conference.
