Rory McIlroy with his BMW PGA
Championship trophy on Sunday
It was difficult to know what must have been
more difficult for Caroline Wozniacki, stepping back out onto the court or
facing the inevitable-if-polite probes about how she was feeling after her
split with Rory McIlroy.
She tackled both with calm and dignity, but the
most traumatic week in her life had not got a whole lot better – she lost in
the first round of the French Open and perhaps the only consolation was that
she can get her life back together away from the spotlight.
Choosing her words carefully about her
personal situation, she dispelled any suggestions that the break-up was
‘mutual’. 'Obviously you’re not prepared for something like this and it came as
a bit of a shock,' she said.
It did not help that she faced a rejuvenated opponent in Belgium’s
Yanina Wickmayer, who defeated her 7-6, 4-6, 6-2.
Also former champion Li Na suffered a shock first-round defeat by
France's Kristina Mladenovic at the French Open.
The Chinese second seed, who won the Australian
Open in January, made 35 unforced errors in a 7-5 3-6 6-1 loss.
