Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki has set her sights on breaking into the world top 30.

Wozniacki, who is currently ranked 32, is playing at the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament.

The 17-year-old told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I think I have done really well this year."

"I still think I can improve a lot but I feel I should just continue like I do, I feel I have a big chance this year [of breaking the top 30]."

The teenager is playing at Calderstones Park for the third time having won the tournament two years ago, she was also the beaten finalist last year.

Wozniacki followed up her tournament win in 2006 by winning Junior Wimbledon a couple of months later and has since gone on to establish herself on the WTA Tour.

I'm just taking one match at a time and enjoying it

Following her appearance in Liverpool she is set to play in Eastbourne and then at Wimbledon.

And the Dane added: "These are up and coming players [in Liverpool] who will be great one day but at Eastbourne all the players are top-30.

"It will be tough but this is a good tournament to start off with."

Wozniacki is among the favourites for the Ladies singles in Liverpool after winning her opening two matches in straight sets.

But she isn't taking success for granted: "All of them [the rivals] are big threats so I'm just taking one match at a time and enjoying it."
