Caroline Wozniacki Steals the Show 0
Caroline Wozniacki sent Cinderella packing without her glass slippers after smashing her magic pumpkin. She not only dispatched the fairy-tale princess, Melanie Oudin, she did it without pity, smiling all the way to the semifinals of the U.S. Open. And what a smile she has.
She will face another teenager, Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, who, unseeded and at age 19, has made her way quietly through to the semifinals after taking out Kateryna Bondarenko, 7-5, 6-4.
Wozniacki, with quiet determination, upstaged the media darling, Oudin, taking the first set 6-2, followed by an identical 6-2 in the second set. Oudin devastated previous competitors with a great inside-out forehand and the ability to run well.
