During an exhibition match against Maria Sharapova in Brazil, Wozniacki stuffed her chest and skirt with padding and pranced out onto the court, inciting laughter from the crowd.
She said at a press conference later that day that she was poking fun at her friend and fellow tennis player, Grand Slam champion Serena Williams.
"I really love the crowd here, they're open and they have a lot of fun," Wozniaki, 22, told reporters.
While some members of the crowd lapped up the performance, others are calling the Dane's performance a "racist" attack.
One blogger on Tumblr posted: "...this isn’t 'harmless fun' as one article described it. its racist. out and outright racism. mocking and making fun of the bodies of black women for a laugh? real funny, stupid white girl. real real funny."
