Wozniacki downs Sharapova; Kuznetsova exits the Open

Tennis Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded 2009 runner-up Caroline Wozniacki upended former champion Maria Sharapova in straight sets Monday to advance at the U.S. Open.

Another champion also lost on Monday, as Svetlana Kuznetsova was a fourth- round upset victim of Dominika Cibulkova, 7-5, 7-6 (7-4).

Wozniacki, last year's U.S. Open runner-up to Belgian star Kim Clijsters here, took advantage of 36 unforced errors from Sharapova, the 2006 champion, en route to a 6-3, 6-4 victory in a little under two hours.

"I felt like I was playing good tennis and playing well. I [forced] those errors," Wozniacki said. "I'm happy to be through the match...I believe in myself more and I believe I can do it."

The 23-year-old Sharapova was 2-0 lifetime against the 20-year-old Dane, with both matches coming in 2008. Wozniacki has won 12 straight and 18 of her last 19 matches, including titles in her last two events, in Montreal and New Haven.

Cibulkova cut down the 11th-seeded Kuznetsova at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The scrappy Slovak dismissed Kuznetsova in 2 hours, six minutes, as the erratic Russian piled up 10 double faults and had her serve broken on four occasions on Labor Day in the United States.

Cibulkova utilized her speed to oust Kuznetsova.

"I would say it was a good match from my side," Cibulkova said. "You know, I was just trying to be aggressive as I could, and Svetlana today, she let me be more aggressive."

The two-time Grand Slam event champion Kuznetsova titled here in 2004 and was the U.S. Open runner-up in 2007. She hasn't reached the quarterfinals in Flushing during the last three years.

The 21-year-old Cibulkova will appear in her second career and first-ever U.S. Open quarterfinal.

Rising 31st-seeded Estonian Kaia Kanepi reached her second straight Grand Slam quarterfinal, as she upended 15th-seeded Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, 0-6, 7-6 (7-2), 6-1 on Monday. The athletic Wickmayer was a semifinalist here a year ago.

Kanepi, who reached her first-ever major quarterfinal at Wimbledon in July, will face seventh-seeded Vera Zvonareva in the quarterfinals after the Russian trounced Germany's Andrea Petkovic, 6-1, 6-2.

Zvonareva was July's Wimbledon runner-up to Serena Williams.
