Former world No 1 tennis player Caroline Wozniacki showed off her athletic physique in photos from a luxury yacht holiday in the Caribbean.
Wozniacki, 35, wore a red bikini as she posed on the deck in the waters of Saint Barthelemy, where she holidayed with her husband and former NBA star David Lee alongside several influencers.
The Danish star has not officially retired but has not appeared on the WTA Tour since the 2024 US Open.
Last year she welcomed her third child with Lee. The loved-up couple, who tied the knot back in June 2019 after getting engaged two years earlier, have a four-year-old daughter called Olivia, a three-year-old son called James, and now baby Max.
Despite clearly being in better shape than most of us, Wozniacki does not believe she will return to the court professionally.
‘No. I think it’s a no. If it were up to David, he would point out that I have my protected ranking and can play the big tournaments,’ she told the Nothing Major Podcast last year.

‘I still have a long time to decide. If I think I can get back in shape, never say never. But with three small children, it’s already a full-time job.
‘I have three small children. I want to travel. It’s been fun doing TV and I really enjoy it. So I think that’s my next step. I like to work a few weeks a year and then relax with my family. It’s the perfect balance.’
Working a few weeks a year certainly sounds like an appealing balance and Wozniacki spent several days in the Caribbean celebrating the 40th birthday of designer Evelyn Menin.
It is a life of luxury with former NBA All-Star power forward Lee, who played for the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors.
The former Australian Open winner was in a relationship with Rory McIlroy for three years before he dramatically broke off their engagement in 2014 after admitting he was not ready for marriage. Three years later he did tie the knot with current wife Erica Stoll.
In 2024, however, the five-time major champion filed to divorce Stoll after serving her with papers at their home in Florida, only to U-turn on that proposal less than a month later.
A sporting super-couple, McIlroy and Wozniacki were together between 2011 and 2013 but he ended the relationship, surprising the former Australian Open champion by saying he was not ready for marriage.
The duo had sent out wedding invitations after a New Year’s Eve proposal in Sydney and Wozniacki posted: ‘Happy New Year everyone! Rory and I started 2014 with a bang! I said YES!!!!’

But only months later, McIlroy changed his mind. At the time, he put out a statement, reading: ‘There is no right way to end a relationship that has been so important to two people.
‘The problem is mine. The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails.’
‘I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we’ve had. I will not be saying anything more about our relationship in any setting.’
Their split came just months after Wozniacki posted a picture of McIlroy sleeping with his mouth open and glasses on, with sources at the time saying he was ‘very upset by it’.
The tennis player captioned the photo, which she later deleted: ‘Jetlag @McIlroyRory? Lol!!’
Wozniacki has since admitted to being stunned at the way in which the break-up was handled.
She previously told Graham Bensinger: ‘I was shocked. I thought at least I would get a face-to-face or something, but there was nothing. It was a phone call, and I did not hear from him again. It kind of just ended.
‘It was very hard because he made it very public from the start. He put out a press release and all of that so I didn’t have a choice, it just got put in my face.’
Despite Wozniacki’s claim that the break-up was one-sided, McIlroy said in an interview that the decision was mutual.
‘It is quite a difficult time for Caroline and myself, and the statement really said it all,’ he told ESPN.
‘It was mutual, and we both thought it was the best for us, the best for both of us. Time to move on, and I’ve said all that I need to say.’
