Caroline Wozniacki might be a little fed up with the media these days. She certainly acted like it during a post-match news conference at Wimbledon on Thursday.
USA TODAY Sports' For the Win posted a tweet from Sports Illustrated freelance tennis reporter Courtney Nguyen, which was a photo of a portion of the transcript of Wozniacki's question-and-answer session with the media after her 6-1, 7-6 (6) victory over Denisa Allertova in the second round at Wimbledon.

The transcript noted a clearly frustrated Wozniacki responding to follow-up questions about her third-round opponent Camila Giorgi.

Wozniacki already had addressed Giorgi earlier in the news conference, saying, "Camila is a player that you don't really know what to expect. She's hitting every ball as hard as she can, and either it goes in or it doesn't go in. So for me, it's all about staying focused, and I need to try and keep pressure on her. I need to return well, serve well and try not to let her dictate too much because when she can dictate, she is a dangerous player. She's going to take the ball very early and she serves well and goes for every shot."
For the Win labeled most of Wozniacki's comments concerning Giorgia as playerspeak.
"Wozniacki had been asked about Giorgi earlier in the press conference, responding with a paint-by-numbers answer about how the Italian mixes it up and is a hard hitter and how Wozniacki will need to return and serve well. In other words, she said nothing," For the Win reported.
For the Win added that follow-up questions about an upcoming opponent are as par for the course of a post-match news conference as it gets.
Wozniacki certainly is used to dealing with media scrutiny, as she has reportedly been dating Houston Texans defensive end and NFL Defensive Player of the Year JJ Watt.
Of course, the No. 5 women's player in the world also had to play out her breakup with ex-fiancé Rory McIlory publicly last year. She also has been the center of attention for some tweets she made at the Masters and US Open golf championships, expressing support for McIlroy rivals.
Thursday's line of questioning was directed at none of those, but Wozniacki may have been letting her sassiness come out in response to the earlier news reports.
