The official Twitter account of the Los Angeles Dodgers also shared pictures as the tennis star, who just turned 25 on July 11, warmed up for her ceremonial pitch. Then, Wozniacki managed to throw the perfect ball above the home plate.

Wozniacki is set to compete at the Bank of the West Classic event in Stanford University. It is her first tournament following her fourth-round loss 6-4 6-4 to ensuing finalist Garbine Muguruza at the All England Club during the 2015 Wimbledon Championships.

Wozniacki has earned the top seed at the tournament after World No. 1 and three-time Bank of the West Classic champion Serena Williams has pulled out of the tournament due to an injury. Williams was replaced by Aleksandra Krunic. Other top-seeded players are Agnieszka Radwanska, Carla Suarez Navarro, Karolina Pliskova, Angelique Kerber and Andrea Petkovic.

The top four seeds received a bye into the second round. Wozniacki will face the winner of the match between Mirjana Lucic-Baroni and Varvara Lepchenko, whom she has played and won against in all their previous four encounters in the past.
