Caroline Wozniacki , 31 – Odense, Denmark

Here’s another sportswoman who’s built her career on a ladder of firsts. If you’re an avid tennis fan and the name Caroline Wozniacki is unfamiliar, you might be doing something wrong. After all, she is the first woman from a Scandinavian country to be named the top tennis player globally.

Wozniacki made her debut in 2003 on the ITF Junior Circuit. And between that time and her eventual retirement in 2020, she won several titles, including her only Grand Slam in 2018. In 2022, Wozniacki starred in the documentary series, “Wozniacki & Lee.”
