Well, Wozniacki is now a senior editor for Jeter’s website, The Players’ Tribune, and she even gave the site a shoutout during her on-court interview.
“I think what Derek has done with the Players’ Tribune is really amazing,” said Wozniacki, a two-time finalist at the Open. “He’s put together a great team. As athletes sometimes we get misquoted and this gives us a chance to [avoid that]. There’s no misquotes because it’s us who write it.”
After her engagement to Rory McIlroy was called off, Wozniacki has since been romantically linked to NFL star J.J. Watt. The two sat together when Duke beat Wisconsin in the NCAA championship game in April.
Meantime, Loeb, who grew up a Yankees fan in Ossining, was awed at seeing Jeter on the big screen at her match.
“I would love to meet him,” Loeb said with a huge smile. “That was pretty awesome because I’m a Yankees fan and he’s one of the best baseball players ever so for him to be there, that means a lot.”
