Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki are long-time friends. The tennis rivals bonded off the court and have always supported each other. Their friendship deepened when Wozniacki was going through a heartbreak. The Dane was all set to marry but her fiance ended up the relationship on-call days before the scheduled marriage date. Williams stepped up as a friend and made sure her friend recovered from the emotional damage soon.
Back in 2014, when Wozniacki completed the marathon, her best friend Serena Williams was among the first few to congratulate her. Later, Serena also answered a question regarding herself doing the same.
