Watch: Wozniacki Tops Venus in Exhibition

Venus Williams made quite an impression on the young Caroline Wozniacki during their first Copenhagen meeting.

Last night, the Grand Slam champions made a major impression reconvening in Copenhagen.

In a rematch of the 2017 WTA Finals in Singapore, world No. 2 Wozniacki outdueled the 37-year-old Williams, 6-4, 6-3, in front of a sold-out crowd of 12,500 at Parken Stadium.

The Australian Open champion shared this tweet of her first meeting with the four-time Olympic gold-medal champion when Wozniacki was just 12 years old.

16 years ago I had the honor of meeting @venuswilliams in Copenhagen and hit some tennis balls with her. Last night we met again, on the same court, this time both as champions! An unbelievable home atmosphere, playing one of the all time greats in the national stadium. pic.twitter.com/xQQPGcKDHP

Williams conceded she doesn't recall much about meeting the young Wozniacki, who was both a Williams sisters and Martina Hingis fan growing up.

In retrospect, Wozniacki's rise from that initial meeting reaffirmed Williams' belief in the power of striving for dreams.

"Mostly, I remember the picture," Williams said. "I didn't know I was going to meet someone who was going to be a Grand Slam winner later, so you never know. That's why everyone should just live their dream and go for it."
