Wozniacki, Sharapova cruise towards US Open fourth-round showdown

New York, Sep 5(ANI): US Open top seed Caroline Wozniacki will on Monday face former champion Maria Sharapova in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.

Wozniacki, who lost to Kim Clijsters in the finals last year, breezed into the fourth round on Saturday after beating Young-Jan Chang 6-1, 6-0. eanwhile, Sharapova, seeded 14th, demolished American teen Beatrice Capra 6-0, 6-0.

Sharapova has beaten Wozniacki in both their previous meetings, but the two have not played since 2008.

However, Wozniacki insists that it's just another match for her.

"When I go out there, I really don't think too much who is on the other side. I just want to do what I'm supposed to do out there on court, and I want to win. I feel like I'm playing well, so hopefully I can just keep my roll," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Wozniacki, as saying.

"The next match will be a totally different match. I think I've shown I belong where I am, but definitely, yeah, it would be a great victory," she added.

Talking about Wozniacki, Sharapova said: "She's the type of opponent that's going to make you hit a lot of balls and is going to make you hit that extra ball."

"I have to be aggressively patient. Obviously the serve and return on a quick court is really important, as well," she added. (ANI)
