Caroline Wozniacki is two matches away from a first grand slam title after defeating Carla Suarez Navarro 6-0 6-7 (3/7) 6-2 in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open. Wozniacki won the first seven games against Suarez Navarro, unseeded at this tournament but a former top-10 player, before the Spaniard battled back. Suarez Navarro had a chance to lead 5-2 with a double break in the second set but Wozniacki fought back to level and then missed a match point at 5-4. It looked like it might prove very costly when Suarez Navarro claimed the tie-break but Wozniacki was the stronger in the decider. In the second set I had the chance to close it out, I didn’t do it and that was very disappointing but I was proud that I managed to stay cool and finish it off in the third set."
