Serena Williams' best-friend Caroline Wozniacki has officially moved on from her failed relationship with pro-golfer Rory McIlroy, as reports indicated the two-time US Open finalist has found a new romance in Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan.

Wozniacki, whose two-year on-and-off relationship with McIlroy ended after she was dumped over the phone by the golfer early this year, is now romantically linked with the Redskins Pro Bowl pass rusher.

Wozniacki and Kerrigan were spotted together at a charity event, and based on the photos and testimonies of people present in the event, the couple seemed pretty much comfortable with each other.

CSN Washington provided an in-depth insight of what appears to be Wozniacki's and Kerrigan's first ever appearance as a couple:

"It appears there is a new power couple in Washington. Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan attended a charity event with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, and rumors suggest the two are romantically paired up," per CSN Washington report.

"Kerrigan and Wozniacki each took part in a live auction to benefit a D.C. area high school athletic department, as well as spending the bulk of the night within arms length of one another."

According to Larry Brown Sports, Monday's sightings at the auction seemed to be the conclusion of an earlier hint by Wozniacki, who posted an Instagram photo that showed her watching the Redskins' game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Although either party confirmed their current status, the mere news of Wozniacki going out with a guy for the first time since the breakup with McIlroy would surely be a welcome development for Williams.

Serena has become Wozniacki's close companion during the Dane's toughest times, as she not only helped her recover from the heartbreak but also re-ignite her career.

The 24-year old Wozniacki put up an impressive performance in the last six months of this year's campaign, reaching her second Grand Slam finals at the US Open and making a return in the top-10 of the WTA World rankings for the first time in two years.

In spite their heated confrontations on the court, Serena and Caroline have maintained their strong bond as friends, and continued to have fun together, whether that be partying on the beach or watching an NBA playoff game.
