McIlroy, Wozniacki Create Nickname

We’ve had Brangelina, Bennifer and TomKat … but is the world ready for Wozzilroy?
Sport’s newest star couple Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki seemed to think so Tuesday, taking the power away from the press when it came to creating their morphed nickname — and offering up their own, rather clunky, brand.
In a tweet, world No. 1 tennis player Wozniacki wrote, “Here is my new club @McilroyRory made for me.” Attached was a photo of a Titleist wedge the Northern Irish golf star gave her as her present, with “Wozzilroy” inscribed along its edge.
The 21-year-old Dane, currently in Tokyo for the Toray Pan Pacific Open, then said she had asked Yonex to customize rackets for McIlroy.
“@McIlroyRory your RACQUETS are on the way;) lol.. Yonex are already working on them:),” she wrote.
Wozniacki and US Open champion McIlroy, 22, have been an item since August and McIlroy has said he believes they can help each other get the best out of their careers. Whether Wozniacki truly deserves to be the top-ranked womens’ tennis player has been widely debated because she is yet to win a grand slam, while McIlroy is yet to sit atop golf’s world rankings.
“I think we definitely spur each other on. She’s No. 1 in the world and I’ve got a major, and we sort of both want what each other have,” the world No. 3 McIlroy said.
“It’s a big goal of mine. I want to become the best player in the world.”
