Top seed Caroline Wozniacki has lost a total of just three games to advance to the fourth round of the US Open. In the first round the last year’s runner-up defeated Chelsey Gullickson 6-1 6-1, then in the second round she double-bageled Kai-Chen Chang in 47 minutes, and today she defeated Yung-Jan Chan 6-1 6-0.

Wozniacki’s opponent in the fourth round will be former champion Maria Sharapova who didn’t let American hope Beatrice Capra win a single game and advanced with a 6-0 6-0 victory. However, the match lasted more than an hour, 73 minutes. (photo: © Neal Trousdale)

Women's tennis fashion is attracting a lot of attention, especially at Grand Slams when clothing sponsors and players try to showcase the best they have. So let's see what they've come up for the 2010 US Open.

I'll start with adidas, my overall favorite, as they always make outfits that have a glamorous touch but can also be easily worn at everyday practice.

Daniela Hantuchova and Ana Ivanovic are sporting pink adidas Women's Fall adilibria Dress.

Russians Dinara Safina and Maria Kirilenko are cled in adidas Barricade Top and Skort.

Caroline Wozniacki is looking great in Stella McCartney Tennis Performance Dress, contrasting nicely with Tennis Performance Bra Top. Elena Dementieva and Yonex once again failed to impress with design and fellow blogger C Note, who saw the dress live at the US Open, said that it even looks two sizes too big on Dementieva.

As usual for a Grand Slam, Maria Sharapova has two versions of a Nike dress – one for day matches and a darker piece for night. When we reviewed the dresses from the photos prior to the Open they looked somewhat questionable, but when seen on Sharapova they are a perfect match. You can see the dresses closer here and here.

Caroline Wozniacki remained undefeated at the Pilot Pen Tennis at Yale (13-0), winning her third consecutive title at the tournament with a 6-3 3-6 6-3 win over Nadia Petrova in the final. It’s the Dane’s second title of the week, as she won the rain-delayed Rogers Cup final against Vera Zvonareva on Monday.

The top-seeded Wozniacki was leading 6-3 2-0 when Petrova took charge and won the second set of the New Haven final. Then in the third set Wozniacki established a 4-1 lead and although Petrova managed to come closer, to 4-3, Wozniacki played two good games to close out the match.

Wozniacki now heads to the US Open, where she is top seed, with four WTA titles this season, which is more than any other player on the Tour has won. Her first opponent at the US Open will be American wildcard Chelsey Gullickson, who is unranked. (via Sony Ericsson WTA Tour)

This is the third time Caroline Wozniacki is playing at New Haven and she still hasn’t lost a match here, improving to 12-0 with a 1-6 6-3 7-6(5) triumph over Elena Dementieva in this year’s semifinals.

The top-seeded Wozniacki will play eighth seed Nadia Petrova in the final of the Pilot Pen Tennis at Yale. Wozniacki is 2-1 lifetime against Petrova, with both the wins coming this season, at Indian Wells and Charleston. The one encounter Wozniacki lost was two years ago and she had to retire.

Wozniacki is occupying the top spot in the final Olympus US Open Series standings for 2010, meaning that the US Open title would bring her an additional $1 million. Wozniacki was runner-up at last year’s US Open, and this time she’ll be No.1 seed.

Additional info: A couple of days ago Wozniacki said how she would like to take a class or two at Yale, probably online. It would be a nice addition to her life, so that not everything revolves around tennis. She wanted to carry that idea out this year, but her professional obligations prevented her from doing so.

Top seed at the Pilot Pen Tennis at Yale, Caroline Wozniacki, didn’t even have to play her quarterfinal match as Flavia Pennetta withdrew with a right foot injury. The Dane’s opponent in the semifinals will be No.4 seed Elena Dementieva who fought for exactly three hours to defeat No.6 seed Marion Bartoli 6-3 3-6 6-2.

Second seed Samantha Stosur was quickly beaten by seed No.7 Nadia Petrova, 6-2 6-1 in just 53 minutes. Stosur started the match by breaking Petrova’s serve, but from then on Petrova lost just three points in her other six service games and broke Stosur five times. Petrova now has 4-0 head-to-head record against Stosur, and all her wins came in straight sets (actually, she has never lost more than three games in any of those sets).

Maria Kirilenko will be Petrova’s opponent in the semifinals. Kirilenko advanced with a 6-3 6-3 win over Dinara Safina. After the match Kirilenko commented on Safina’s weakened game: "Before she was more aggressive, but now she's making longer points, and it's not hurting you as much."
