'It really feels like someone close to you has died' - Wozniacki opens up on McIlroy split
CAROLINE WOZNIACKI SAID that her high-profile split with Rory McIlroy felt “like someone close to you has died.”

The shock left Wozniacki heartbroken but the tennis world number five now feels that she is a much stronger person for the experience.
“In my head I had everything until that moment,” she said in an exclusive interview with the Independent.
“I had a great career, I was getting married, I have a perfect family. Everything was great. There was really nothing going against me. I was happy, very happy.
