Caroline Wozniacki made an emphatic statement with a 6-2 6-0 thrashing of Elina Svitolina in their WTA Finals opener on Monday but the Danish former world number one insisted revenge was not her motivation against a player she had never beaten.
Wozniacki is making her fifth appearance at the year-ending eight-woman event and her experience of both the venue and the tournament enabled her to breeze past a Ukrainian opponent who appeared frozen by first night stage-fright on her debut.
"I think every match here is a special win because you play against the top players in the world, so obviously it makes it special to win," Wozniacki told reporters after her 58-minute triumph.
"I am just happy to be through, and it doesn't really matter if it's Elina or someone else. I'm just happy to have won," she added of the victory against a woman who had beaten her in two finals this season and held a 3-0 lead in head-to-head matches.
