Caroline Wozniacki capitalised on 41 unforced errors by Mihaela Buzarnescu to cruise to a 6-1 7-5 win in the first round. Wozniacki said being able to sleep in her own bed was an advantage for her at a tournament where she is a two-time finalist.<\/p>\n
Fifth seed Caroline Wozniacki capitalised on 41 unforced errors by Romanian Mihaela Buzarnescu to cruise to a 6-1 7-5 win in their first round meeting at the U.S. Open on Monday.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old Buzarnescu, who was playing in her first-grand slam match, was overwhelmed by the Dane\u2019s powerful baseline game in the first set.<\/p>\n
She came out with more energy in the second and the two exchanged service breaks to get to 4-4.<\/p>\n
However, the Romanian became frustrated as she struggled with accuracy and the lefty sent a two-handed backhand long to hand Wozniacki a trip to the second round.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first round is always difficult, you just want to get into the tournament,\u201d Wozniacki said in an on-court interview.<\/p>\n
Wozniacki, who calls New York home, said being able to sleep in her own bed was an advantage for her at a tournament where she is a two-time finalist.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s awesome because we stay in hotels every week,\u201d she added. \u201cMy mom is here and she cooks so that\u2019s nice. It makes it very comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
The win was the former world number one\u2019s 100th grand slam match victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
