Caroline Wozniacki: 'Wimbledon is biased to men on show courts'

Wimbledon is biased in favour of men when organisers schedule the order of play, according to Caroline Wozniacki.

Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki has hit out at Wimbledon organisers for not scheduling enough women to play on show courts.

The Dane lost in the fourth round to Spain's Garbine Muguruza on Court Two, and criticised the tournament for scheduling two men's matches and one women's match per day on Centre Court and Court One.

She said at a press conference: "I would love to play on a big court. I think that's what it's all about; you work hard and practise to play on the big courts. The women really haven't gotten the opportunity here to play on the big courts. You only get one women's match on Court One and Centre Court.

"Most of last week it was only one women's match on Court Two as well. It's definitely different, that's all I can say. I think a lot of us women feel like we deserve to play on the big courts in front of a big crowd, as well."

Serena Williams beat Venus Williams in the only women's match on Centre Court yesterday.
