Caroline Wozniacki will begin in New Haven with a first round showdown against Polona HercogYou can watch & bet on the action from the WTA New Haven Open at bet365Caroline Wozniacki has won her last 14 matches at the WTA New Haven Open, and she’ll enter this year’s event as a three-time champion. The Dane has unexpectedly been enduring a summer slump following her title success in Copenhagen, and she’ll be eager to get back to her consistent best. A good run here would stand her in good stead for the upcoming U.S Open.
Wozniacki will open in New Haven with a second round matchup against Polona Hercog of Slovenia. Hercog won the first WTA title of her career last month (WTA Bastad), and besides losing in the first round in Cincinnati last week she’s been playing well. Having seen a glimpse of hat Hercog can do on her day, it will be interesting to see if she can crack the top twenty.
Wozniacki has a 1-0 head to head record against Hercog, having beaten her last season in Warsaw (2-6, 6-3, 6-4). Hercog evidently has the capacity to make Wozniacki work hard for a victory, though it will take a gutsy effort to deny the world No. 1 here. If things go as expected, Wozniacki will leave the court with her fiftieth win of the season.
