COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki rallied from a set down to reach the Danish Open quarterfinals with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 win over Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic on Thursday.
Wozniacki was broken five times in the first set, where only one of the games went with serve. But the third-ranked Dane then found her stride and held serve the rest of the way, adding two breaks in the second set and three in the third.
Wozniacki will face fifth-seeded Julia Goerges of Germany for a spot in the semifinals.
In other second-round matches, Slovakia’s Polana Hercog rallied to beat Britain’s Anne Keothavong 4-6, 6-0, 6-4, Anna Chakvetadze ousted fellow Russian Anna Lapushchenkova 6-3, 6-4 and Sorona Cirstea of Romania overcame Slovenia’s Katarina Srebotnik 7-5, 4-6, 6-2.
