Tennis World Congratulates Caroline Wozniacki on Australian Open 2018 Title

Here's how the tennis world is reacting to Caroline Wozniacki's Australian Open victory.

Caroline Wozniacki captured her first career Grand Slam title on Saturday, defeating No. 1 Simona Halep to win the 2018 Australian Open.  

Wozniacki, in her 43rd Grand Slam appearance, battled Halep for three sets in a thrilling match two hours and 50 minutes, before winning win 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-4.

Both women saved match points en route to the championship match, the first time in the Open Era that both finalists did so at a Grand Slam. 

With the win, Wozniacki will reclaim the WTA World No. 1 ranking exactly six years since she last held it, a WTA Rankings record for time in between stints at No.1. 

Here's how the tennis world reacted to Wozniacki's title.

I got too nervous to watch but woke up to @CaroWozniacki new number one and aussie open champ. So awesome. So happy. Are those tears? Yup they are. 😭 from a year ago to today I'm so proud my friend so proud. Literally can't even sleep now
