Caroline Wozniacki is ready for a breakthrough.By Self.com

This month, Caroline Wozniacki will fly from her home in Monaco to Australia in an attempt to fulfill her wildest dream: “I want to win a grand slam,” she says.

Now, more than at any other time in her career, the 24-year-old Dane is poised to do it. She’s fine-tuned her trademark backhand with the help of her coach (and dad), Piotr, and trainer, Przemyslaw Piotrowicz. She has the support of her tennis powerhouse friends, including Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic. And she is in the best shape of her life, both physically and mentally. “That’s one of my strongest points,” she says.
“No matter the score, I always fight until the end. I never give up.”

A victory at the Australian Open, the first grand slam tournament of 2015, could usher in a triumphant new era for Wozniacki, who spent 2014 showing us not only how hard she can play but also how strong, centered and optimistic she can remain, even during trying times. “Honestly, 2014 was a very up-and-down year,” she says. “There’s been big happiness, and sadness as well.”
