Paris Olympics on Sunday.

The Dane is competing in the fourth Olympics Games of her career and has set her sights on earning her first-ever medal at the event. However, Wozniacki was forced to dig deep to avoid being dumped out of the competition by Egypt’s Sherif in the first round.

Sherif won the opening set in style (6-2) and was serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set, prompting some antagonising tactics from Wozniacki. The 34-year-old appeared to mock Sherif’s vocalisations as she hits the ball.

Her opponent had been particularly loud throughout the bout, grunting throughout the opening two sets at Roland Garros.

Wozniacki soon responded with a sound of her own mid-match, making a loud shriek in the heart of a tense rally to indicate that she was growing tired of listening to her rival whilst trying to compete.

Although not integral to the outcome of the match, the former Australian Open managed to turn the game on its head after sending a sarcastic message to Sherif. She fought back from the brink of defeat to claim the second set 7-5 before dominating the decider with a 6-1 success.
