Great recognition for Caroline Wozniacki. The Danish player is the first ranked athlete in the list of the most powerful women in the sports world according to Forbes. Wozniacki is the eighth most powerful in the general ranking.

Several factors contributed to it: she won 2017 WTA Finals and 2018 Australian Open title, became world No. 1, earned $7.5 million dollars last year and backed the gender parity. The most powerful woman is Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura, FIFA General Secretary.

The podium is completed by Lydia Nsekera, FIFA and COI Member, and Florence Hardouin, General director of the French football federation. Wozniacki, who is committed to play her next tournament in Istanbul on clay in late April, thanked Forbes on Twitter.
