How refreshing to find a sports person not be completely anodyne in a post match interview and add a bit of colour. Caroline Wozniacki has entertained in front of the press as well as on the court at the Australian Open ironically after accusations of being boring in previous encounters. Her first foray saw her complain that the criticism was unfair as she was simply replying to boring questions before conducting the interview herself and then opening up to a general Q&A session.

   After this performance she claimed she had been scratched by a kangaroo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAW4c7qJu9w before retracting this the following day admitting that she got the scratch from walking into a treadmill http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/9370990.stm .
   In the current age of professionalism where the same cliches are trotted out by interchangeable players Wozniacki is fast garnering a support base and increasing interest in tennis from people who may have become disheartened by the Williams sisters sharing major tournaments with Belgians. This is unfair but the rankings don't help when the No1 changes so frequently, with Wozniacki the latest to reach that spot without having won a major, that the casual tennis viewer has trouble identifying them all so that Venus and Serena Williams, along with Justin Henin and Kim Clijsters are the only household names. The more that can join this group the better but Wozniacki needs more than wisecracks and has to perform on the court as well otherwise she becomes nothing more than a sideshow. She has the talent as her World ranking indicates but she will need to win a major soon to justify that lofty position in the public's eye.
   Tennis is by no means the only sport that have this curious situation where the No1 ranked player has yet to win a major tournament as Lee Westwood can testify in golf and I wonder if these events still want to be considered as majors whether the points awarded for winning one takes that into account and apportions more than are currently.
