A great Caroline Wozniacki managed to defeat Camila Giorgi to reach the semifinals in Eastbourne.
After her sudden split with McIlroy, Caroline seems more motivated to put her energies in tennis. The Dane is very fit and she really wants to crawl back in the rankings (now she is ranked no.16).
The former world no.1 had to dig dip against the Italian that won the opening set at the tie break. Wozniacki bounced back strongly in the second set to win the decisive break in the 9th game (5-4). Camila imploded in the decider to concede her serve twice and lose 6-7 (7) 6-4 6-2. Match Stats
Some numbers
Caroline won 108 points vs. Camila’s 94. Wozniacki had a great break point conversion rate (4 out of 5) while the Italian wasn’t good in this department (only 1 out 8). Camila committed 7 double faults vs. Caroline’s 1.
Wozniacki: This was a good win
Caroline “It was a really tough match. Camila played really well. I really had to be focused out there. She hits the ball very hard and flat and has some good serves. This was a good win for me.”
Next vs. Kerber
Caroline will face world no.9 Angelique Kerber in the next round. Head to head is 4-3 for the German. This will be the first match on grass between these two.
In the other semifinal Madison Key will take on Heather Watson. Head to head is 1-0 for Madison and that was in Wimbledon 2013.
