LONDON -- For Caroline Wozniacki, just winning a Grand Slam match these days would be nice.The former No. 1-ranked player came into Wimbledon unseeded at a major for the first time in eight years and with a world ranking of No. 45, her lowest since 2008.Faced with a tough first-round draw, the 25-year-old Dane departed quickly Tuesday after losing to 14th-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova, 7-5, 6-4, leaving her without a Grand Slam match win in 2016.Wozniacki also fell in the first round at the Australian Open and missed the French Open with a right ankle injury. Her overall record this year is 11-11.Its been a tough year in general, Wozniacki said, taking a philosophical tone. Its been some injuries. Its been some bad draws. Its been uphill. But you just have to keep fighting, keep going at it, keep working hard, and hope eventually thats going to turn and youre going to take the chances youre going to get.Thats really all you can do right now, she said.Wozniacki was ranked No. 1 for 67 weeks in 2010 and 2011 and reached two Grand Slam finals, finishing runner-up at the 2009 and 2014 U.S. Opens. This was her 10th appearance at Wimbledon, where she has reached the fourth round five times but never made it to the quarterfinals.Coming off the ankle injury, Wozniacki showed progress at the grass-court warmup tournament at Eastbourne, winning back-to-back matches for the first time since February. I thought I played some really good tennis in Eastbourne, she said. Obviously (I) was hoping I could step up from there and do more damage today. But it wasnt enough.Wozniacki played well against Kuznetsova, also a former No. 1 player. She pushed the Russian but didnt have enough to overcome her in a match played with the retractable roof closed over Centre Court because of rain.She played aggressively and stepped up when she had to, Wozniacki said. She did what she had to do today.For now, Wozniacki is planning to play hard-court tournaments in Washington and Montreal.Shes also awaiting a ruling on the appeal on her eligibility for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Wozniacki has been selected as Denmarks flag-bearer for the games, but has failed to meet the International Tennis Federations Fed Cup requirements.Obviously I want to play, she said. But if they decide that Im not going to play, then theres not much I can do about it.In addition to the injuries, losses and drop in the rankings, Wozniacki endured a well-publicized breakup in 2014 with golfer Rory McIlroy.Referring to the last year-and-a-half in general, she said: I mean, at one point youre just like, you know what, it has to turn, it has to go the other way eventually. Im just going to take the punches Im getting and just try and learn from it and try and move forward.During her injury layoffs, Wozniacki has kept busy with various off-the-court projects.If theres time left over, then I try and just have fun in life, she said. We only live once. We dont get a mulligan.One thing Wozniacki wont do is read about herself.I think if I read everything that was written about me the last 15 years, I think by now I probably would have jumped over a cliff, she said.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee completed a feasibility study for a renovation of Neyland Stadium, home of the Volunteers football team.On Tuesday, school officials unveiled plans for the second and third phase of the project, which may include concourse expansions, meeting rooms and two new videoboards.Last week, Tennessees Board of Trustees approved a $106 million proposal for the first phase of renovations, though it still must go before the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and will require legislative approval.The total cost of the entire renovation remains uncertain, but associate athletic director Chris Fuller said theyre approaching the project with the underlying assumption that it will be privately funded.One of the recommendations in the first phase of the renovation involves shifting a back wall to create more space between the playing surface and any physical boundaries as a safety measure. Other potential renovations include expanding the main thoroughfare of the south concourse, improving concessions and adding rest rooms.The school is aiming to have the first phase completed for the 2019 season. That phase will be financed by donations and the athhletic departments operating revenues.ddddddddddddPotential additions in the second phase of the renovation include more concourse expansions, ledge seating, suites, a halftime meeting room, a room for recruits and a lounge for former players. Plans for the third phase include two new videoboards and a WiFi system to improve connectivity.A target date for the second and third phases hasnt been set. The approval process hasnt begun for either of those phases.Neyland Stadium opened in 1921 and has a seating capacity of 102,455, making it the fifth-largest stadium among Football Bowl Subdivision programs. Its capacity had been up to 104,079 before getting reduced by various alterations in the last decade.School officials said Neylands capacity would remain at least 100,000 after this upcoming renovation, assuming it gets approved.We believe its part of our identity as a program, that we are part of a small amount of schools that can make that claim, associate athletic director Brett Huebner said.---AP college website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
