Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki detailed the experience she had shooting for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. According to Wozniacki, her SI Swimsuit Issue experience was so much fun and amazing.

The Dane revealed in an interview prior her first match at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships that she was “nervous” going into the photo shoot because she had the slightest idea of what it was going to be like. However, Wozniacki has managed to let go of the pressure because the entire SI team has helped her feel comfortable from the beginning until they wrapped up the shoot. She added that veteran SI photographer Walter Iooss Jr. was “unbelievable” for being able to capture stunning photos without wasting a lot of time.

Wozniacki said she had no clue how the pictures would come out but she didn’t have any apprehensions because she knew that she was being managed and cared for with great attention. She was happy with the way her pictures came out.

As for her thoughts when asked to star in SI Swimsuit Issue, Wozniacki said she didn’t have to think twice. She said yes right away.

“It has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and very few people get the opportunity and I thought it was a great opportunity for me,” Wozniacki said. I was really excited about it.”

Wozniacki, who received a first round bye, will play against Australian No. 1 Sam Stosur in the second round of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. Stosur scored straight sets victory 6-3 6-1 over qualifier Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in the first round to secure a meeting with the 2011 Dubai Duty Free Tennis champion. Their match will be held at the Dubai Centre Court at 3 p.m. (11 a.m. GMT) on Feb. 17. It will be Wozniacki’s first match since her loss to Victoria Azarenka in the second round of the 2015 Australian Open.

Wozniacki and Stosur’s head-to-head record is tied with 4 wins and 4 losses apiece. She lost to the Aussie in the last encounter in the hard courts of Beijing in October 2014.
