Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy making out is your picture of the day

Caroline Wozniacki broke out of her mini slump with a win at the New Haven Open on Friday. A win she celebrated with new, confirmed boyfriend, Rory McIlroy.

He also told reporters it would be fine to refer to her as his girlfriend, ending one of the worst kept secrets in sports. He attended her second-round match here Tuesday, and has been seen by her side for weeks.

“Why it’s going so well is that we have so much in common,” he said. “Obviously, different sports, but we’re pretty much in the same position at a young age and we can talk about things that probably a lot of 21, 22-year olds can’t talk about. It’s nice to have someone that sort of understands what you’re going through.”

And just to show you how much these two “really” like each other, they shared this uncomfortable kiss in front of the Yale football team.

I guess my theory about McIlroy hurting Wozniacki’s tennis career was a bit premature. Although, she’ll still have to answer a lot of questions from her critics should she get eliminated early at the U.S. Open.

The world #1 has fared well at Flushing Meadows playing in her only Grand Slam final in 2009 and making it all the way to the semi’s in 2010. If she’s going to breakthrough at a big event, it has to be soon, otherwise the talk of her being the weakest #1 in the history of the women’s game will undoubtedly continue.
