Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, a self-confessed 'lifelong Liverpool fan', received a special message from Reds great Steven Gerrard following her retirement recently. The former World No. 1 announced her retirement from tennis last month.

In a video, shared by Wozniacki on her Twitter account, Gerrard said: "Hello Caroline. Hope you're well and good. I hope you're enjoying retiring and getting some rest. I just wanna say congratulations for an incredible career. You gave us so many highs over the years. I've really enjoyed watching you. So major congratulations. And I wish you all the best for the future."
