Wimbledon: Caroline Wozniacki safely into third round | Tennis News | Sky Sports

She then quickly went a double break up in the second set as she led 5-1 – but just as her passage seemed assured, Allertova reeled off five games in a row to lead 6-5.

Her service was strong, but it was a couple of delicate winning lobs that perhaps best illustrated her control of this third round match.

If Davy Fitzgerald did this the Sunday Game would have a meltdown.

Caroline Wozniacki did not agree with such logic today when she was asked multiple questions about her next opponent, the tough Italian player Camila Giorgi.

Wozniacki, the ex- world No 1, has never made it past the fourth round at the All England Club and will be aiming to avoid a fifth defeat at that stage.

“I felt comfortable and confident. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t be able to make it past the fourth round”. I’ve won Eastbourne. I’ve won the juniors here.

The Dane commented on the win: “I’m very happy”. You know, small things.

Wozniacki certainly is used to dealing with media scrutiny, as she has reportedly been dating Houston Texans defensive end and National Football League Defensive Player of the Year JJ Watt.

And she was determined to do it. The first set was a display of dominance from the Italian, who mercilessly bageled her opponent in only 18 minutes. I just tried to get every ball back. “They’re both playing well, so it’s going to be a good match, I’m sure”.

“Camila is a player that you don’t really know what to expect. I need to try to keep pressure on her. I need to return well, serve well, try not to let her dictate too much”. “It wasn’t about how well she performed, it was about me, I made a lot of mistakes”.

Two seeded women were eliminated in early matches: No. 8 Ekaterina Makarova of Russian Federation fell 6-2, 7-5 to Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia, while No. 25 Alize Cornet of France was ousted by Olga Govortsova of Belarus 7-6 (6), 2-6, 6-1.

For the Win labeled most of Wozniacki’s comments concerning Giorgia as playerspeak.
