Caroline Wozniacki accuses Wimbledon of a bias to men on show courts

Caroline Wozniacki has sparked a Wimbledon sexism row by claiming women do not receive as many chances as men to feature on SW19’s show courts.

Wozniacki tumbled out of Wimbledon’s last-16 for the fifth time in her career on Monday, then hit out at organisers of the All England Club’s scheduling.

The Dane claimed Wimbledon’s tournament bosses should feature as many women’s as men’s matches on the top courts at London’s grand slam tennis event.

“I would love to play on a big court,” said Wozniacki, after her 6-4 6-4 defeat to Spain’s Garbiñe Muguruza.
