The 20-year-old Wozniacki, who lost to Sanchez in their three previous matches, swept past the Spaniard in straight sets 6-1, 6-3 in the $US9 million WTA and ATP Masters 1000 hard court tournament. Wozniacki, who needs a strong showing to hold onto her world number one ranking, dispatched Sanchez in just 71 minutes, winning 85 per cent of her second-serve opportunities and saving two break points. "I had to focus on my own serve," Wozniacki said. "She has a pretty tricky serve, so once I had broken her, I just needed to keep my serve. "That sounds very easy, but it's difficult to do sometimes. "I had to fight till the last point, because you never know what to expect." Wozniacki, Danish-born of Polish parentage, moves on to the fourth round where • Robson handed Open chanceThe 15-year-old has been partnering Andy Murray at the Hopman Cup in Perth this week and in Saturday's final claimed the biggest scalp of her fledgling career when she beat world number 26 Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 6-1 7-6 (8/6). Qualifying for the Australian Open begins on January 14 and the 403rd-ranked Robson will need to negotiate three rounds to reach the main draw at Melbourne Park. "Laura has had a quick rise on the international scene and deserves this opportunity," said Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley. "We're excited that we can recognise her success and look forward to seeing her in Melbourne." Robson's only previous appearance at senior level in a grand slam came at Wimbledon last year when she was handed a wild card into the main draw before losing to Daniela Hantuchova in the first round. She came to prominence by winning the girls' singles title at Wimbledon in 2008. |
