Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki said she was drawing comfort from fellow Liverpool football club fans in her first public comments since golfer Rory McIlroy announced their wedding had been called off.
The 25-year-old Northern Irishman issued a statement on the eve of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, saying he was not ready for marriage.
“It’s a hard time for me right now,” former world No. 1 Wozniacki said on Twitter on Thursday.
“Thanks for all the sweet messages! Happy I support Liverpool right now because I know I’ll never walk alone,” she added in reference to the famous anthem of the five-time European soccer champions.
Serena Williams also offered her support, writing “I’ll always walk with you. #friendsforever”
McIlroy is a lifelong fan of Liverpool’s arch-rivals, Manchester United.
