Wozniacki eases into Stuttgartsemi-finals

STUTTGART, Germany,  (Reuters) – World number one Caroline Wozniacki survived an early scare to win 10 straight games and crush German Andrea Petkovic 6-4 6-1 yesterday for a spot in the last four of the Stuttgart Grand Prix.

Wozniacki, already a winner of three titles this year, will next face Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska who beat German Kristina Barrois 7-5 6-3 on the clay.  Australian Samantha Stosur also booked her spot with a gutsy 2-6 6-3 7-6 win over world number three Vera Zvonareva, who broke a staggering nine strings and briefly played with her coach’s racquet.
