Former tennis world number one Caroline Wozniacki has insisted that her career will not be affected once she marries golfer Rory McIlroy.

The couple announced their engagement on New Year's Day after more than two years together.

"We live together now, so it's not going to really change that much," The Mirror quotes Wozniacki as saying. "We are both, I think, just having that calmness off the court and we know what we want, and it just gives us even more time to focus on our careers.

"Obviously we always try and make our schedules fit. We have done that pretty well so far, so I don't see why it's not going to work for another how many years I want to."

Before announcing their engagement, rumours were rife in October last year that the couple had split up.
