Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki was expecting a challenge at the Family Circle Cup and she got it from a 48th-ranked player from the Czech Republic. The top-seeded Dane had to win two tiebreakers to defeat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 7-6 (6), 7-6 (9) in a stadium court match that lasted more than 2 1/2 hours. It looked nothing like the 56-minute cakewalk Wozniacki enjoyed in Wednesday's opening match.
Wozniacki dropped the first set and was two games away from defeat when she found her groove to win the final four games. Wozniacki leveled the set when Wickmayer missed a drop shot attempt. The tournament's top seed held serve, then broke Wickmayer to love to close out the match. "I knew that it wasn't going to be easy. I've seen her before and played her last year here," Wozniacki said. By the way, I would like to recommend some tennis rackets. Wozniacki wins 2 tiebreakers at family circle cup. It is really a good news.
Wozniacki appeared to be cruising again with a 4-1 lead in the opening set against Zahlavova Strycova. Then the frustrated Czech talked to her coach and promised to play more aggressively. The move worked: She extended points and forced Wozniacki deep into corners to chase down shots. Wozniacki moved in front 5-2, but Zahlavova Strycova fought off four match points. Zahlovova Strycova had a chance to take the set leading 9-8 but sent the ball wide.
The Serbian, ranked second in the world, has captured four titles, including the Australian Open, Dubai and, now, back-to-back elite Masters titles at Indian Wells and Miami, both with victories over Nadal in the finals.
As in the championship match at Indian Wells a fortnight earlier, Djokovic surrendered the first set to Nadal.
The game lasted almost 3 1/2 hours on a steamy stadium court it was Djokovic who became the victor, blasting a forehand cross court for the victory on his third match point.
Moments later, she put up a defensive lob on a hard hit ball into the deep right corner and Wozniacki pounded it up into the grandstand. Zahlavova Strycova said she was proud of her performance.
