Not only is Ana Ivanovic’s adidas outfit nothing special considering she’s number one in the world, not only is it the same outfit she wore at Wimbledon and abandoned it after one day, but at the US Open Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki worked it before Ivanovic.

Ok, the shoes are unique, the Barricade V Summer Slams with Ivanovic's face, but there is something bizarre, Pilot Pen champion Wozniacki wore those same shoes in her first-round match at the US Open when she defeated Asha Rolle 6-2 6-1. Hahaha, what a mess!

Ivanovic starts her US Open campaign on Tuesday at 11am local time, and then we'll finally see whether she'll wear something else, which is more than welcome. (via Forty Deuce)

Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki defeated Vera Dushevina of Russia 6-0 6-2 to win the Nordic Light Open in Stockholm for her first WTA title.

The 18-year-old Wozniacki broke last year’s finalist Dushevina three times in the first set. Unseeded Dushevina played better in the second set, but couldn’t capitalize on break points. The fourth-seeded Dane then broke her opponent twice in a row to win the Tier IV tournament.

Second seed Jelena Jankovic of Serbia lost the first set against rising star Caroline Wozniacki, and I’m sure everyone’s first thought was Will this be another Sharapova/Ivanovic moment?, but fighting J.J. didn't let the trend take her over. The world No.3 reached the fourth round at Wimbledon 2008 defeating the Danish 17-year-old 2-6 6-4 6-2.

Jankovic was broken twice as she lost the first set, during which she also sustained a left knee injury. Jankovic then broke the 2006 Wimbledon junior champion Wozniacki right away in the opening game of the second set, and it proved to be the last and decisive break of the set. In the decider, J.J. was two breaks up against the world No.30 Wozniacki, and sealed victory on first match point.

Second-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova battled to a 6-1 4-6 6-3 victory over Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova in the third round of the Pacific Life Open on Sunday.

World No.3 Kuznetsova was a runner-up in Indian Wells last year, when she lost to another Slovakian, Daniela Hantuchova, in the final.

Against world No.40 Cibulkova, who recently added a victory over Venus Williams to her resume, Kuznetsova made many errors in the second set. The Russian, a runner-up this year in Sydney and Dubai, managed to up her game in the third set to book a place in the next round against Denmark's 17-year-old Caroline Wozniacki, a player I closely keep an eye on.

Caroline Wozniacki is the latest women’s tennis player to be featured in a Sony Ericsson ad. The 17-year-old from Denmark, currently ranked 82nd in the world, advertises the new W580 slider Walkman phone. In the commercial Wozniacki uses the shake function of her W580, which makes her tennis ball machine transform into a robot. The sound effects perfectly suit the on-court action, I like that.
