Wozniacki Downs Keys to Reach U.S. Open Quarterfinals

Caroline Wozniacki delivered another masterful performance on Sunday afternoon, rolling past eighth-seeded American Madison Keys 6-3, 6-4 to earn a spot in the U.S. Open quarterfinals.

The 2009 and 2014 runner up was clinical in dismissing Keys in just 78 minutes under the sun on Arthur Ashe Stadium, committing a total of just seven unforced errors throughout the match and dropping just one service game on her way to the straight-set victory.

Wozniacki opened things up with a routine hold of serve in the match’s first game and would go on to break Keys for a 3-1 lead, and pushed it to 4-1 after consolidating it with a hold. It would be the only break she needed in the first set as she didn’t face a single break point on her own to serve.

The Dane broke Keys to begin the second set and seemed to have the American in a vice grip all match long. Even after Keys got the break back and evened things at 2-2 in the set, Wozniacki broke right back for 3-2, helped out a double-fault from Keys on break point.

Wozniacki continued to dominate on serve and didn’t face a break point the rest of the way, ending the match with an returnable serve down the T.

Up next for Wozniacki is Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia, who continued her Flushing Meadows run with a 6-4, 7-5 triumph over Johanna Konta earlier in the day.
