WINNING the Australian Open final this weekend has earned Caroline Wozniacki her first major title, and a bonus prize.

Wozniacki beat Simona Halep in three sets in the championship match on the weekend, meaning she’ll replace the Romanian player atop the WTA rankings released today.

“I think being a new grand slam champion and world No 1 sounds pretty good,” Wozniacki said. “I’m very excited for that. It’s a dream come true.”
