Caroline Wozniacki has apologised to Rafael Nadal for mocking his cramps at the US Open.

Nadal collapsed with cramp during his press conference on Sunday night, but was later quick to laugh off the incident.

Waiting to speak to the media after her three-set victory over Svetlana Kuznetsova, Wozniacki pretended to slump in her chair like Nadal had the day before.

Keen to avoid any controversy, Wozniacki took to Twitter on Tuesday to apologise to the Spaniard for any offence caused.

She said: "Had a bit of fun last night before my press conference. Hope it was not taken the wrong way. I have the utmost respect and admiration of Rafa."

It is not the first time Wozniacki has shared a joke with reporters. She hijacked Novak Djokovic's pre-Wimbledon press conference in June, posing as a French journalist and in January she claimed she was attacked by a kangaroo during the Australian Open.
