Max Eisenbud took a step back and apologized to Caroline Wozniacki's family through an email for what he said about the Danish player who had criticized Maria Sharapova. 'I'm really sorry and I hope you can forgive me,' wrote Eisenbud, Sharapova's agent. 'It wasn't my proudest moment, in the interview situation I was very emotional, not rational and just really stupid,' added Eisenbud, apologizing to both Caroline, her family and her team.

'Your amazing career will continue and one day will bring you in the sport's Hall of Fame.' A few weeks ago Eisenbud had made a strong statement about Wozniacki saying: 'All those 'journeyman' players like Radwanska and Wozniacki who have never won a Slam and the next generation passing them.

They are smart to try to keep out Maria. NO Serena, NO Maria, NO Vika, NO Petra, it's their last chance to win a Slam. But they never read the CAS report and they never read paragraph 100 and 101. So they have no clue.' Piotr Wozniacki, Caroline's father and coach, didn't accept it: 'If he was a man, then he'd also apologise in public, where he said those things,' he said.

Eisenbud was also reprimanded by Steve Simon, WTA Chief, for what he said. ALSO READ: WTA MADRID - Maria Sharapova beats Lucic Baroni in three sets, Kerber advances
