Caroline Wozniacki put her brave face on when she met with the media during the post-match news conference at the 2014 French Open, about a week after Rory McIlroy announced their separation.

Before the reporters could even ask Wozniacki questions, she spoke for a moment and stated that she had no intentions of tackling her personal life, ESPN reported. "I don't want to talk about my personal life," said Wozniacki. "I hope that you all can understand that." Wozniacki said that that she just wanted to thank everyone who had been so supportive of her during these trying times in her personal life. "The only thing I really have to say is that, you know, thank everybody for their support and sweet messages."

According to Wozniacki, whatever happens in her personal life is something that she is only willing to discuss with people that she has a close relationship with and added that she just wants to move on from the heartbreak.

Wozniacki was valiant to admit that it wasn't easy for her to prepare for the tournament. "Obviously, you know you're not prepared for something like this and, you know, it came a bit of a shock."

"So you know, I just try to prepare the best that I could and really try to focus on my match and what I have to do out there."

Wozniacki lost to Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer on May 27. It was the first time that Wozniacki has reportedly been defeated in an opening match at the French Open since 2007.

"I felt a little bit rusty out there and you know it wasn't really a pretty match, but I tried."

After McIlroy announced his split from Wozniacki, the 23-year-old tennis athlete turned to Twitter to thank everyone for their support.

It's a hard time for me right now.Thanks for all the sweet messages!Happy I support Liverpool right now because I know I'll never walk alone

Wozniacki found counsel from one of her close pals Serena Williams who also tweeted support for her.
