No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki will take the last spot in the 2010 U.S. Open semifinals after defeating Dominika Cibulkova, 6-2, 7-5. She’s surely happy to advance, but also happy to forget a match riddled on both sides with double faults and aborted service tosses.
2010 U.S. Open Quarterfinals: Caroline Wozniacki Versus The Weather (Again)
Even the broadcasting crew was brutalized by the high winds Wednesday night. Pam Shriver called the court conditions “torturous,” and the cameramen at times had trouble keeping their equipment steady. Trash occasionally blew into the plays, and Wozniacki in particular was bothered by her hair blowing into her field of vision. (At one point, Shriver called Wozniacki a “good tactical player” for braiding her ponytail. That’s how Lord of the Flies it got in there.)
Despite all that, Wozniacki still hasn’t dropped a set at Flushing Meadows this year. She’ll face Vera Zvonareva in the semis.
