US Open's glam quotient takes a hit after sharapova loses to Wozniacki
Top seed Caroline Wozniacki stayed on course for her maiden Grand Slam title yesterday with a 6-3, 6-4 win over glamour queen Maria Sharapova in a pulsating fourth-round tie.
In the end, it was Sharapova's vulnerability on serve at key points that proved to be the main difference, handing vital breaks to the Dane through double faults in each set.
Wozniacki will play unseeded Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia for a place in the semi-finals.
"It was a tough match. She is a great player and I knew it wasn't going to be easy," last year's runner-up said.
"I got a lot of experience from last year and that helped me a lot today."
The world number two went into the match having dropped just three games in her first three outings in New York, the least in a Grand Slam event by any woman since Mary Pierce at the 1994 French Open.
