MELBOURNE: The illustrious career of Danish star Caroline Wozniacki has ended with a third round exit at the Australian Open at the hand of Tunisia's Ons Jabeur.

The unpredictable game and power of Ons Jabeur, who upset 12th seed Johanna Konta on her way to the third round of the slam, proved too much for the 2018 champion, who was defeated 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 in just over two hours.
