09/04/2010 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Top-seeded 2009 runner-up Caroline Wozniacki and former champion Maria Sharapova were easy third-round winners, while former finalist Jelena Jankovic went by way of the upset Saturday at the U.S. Open.
The red-hot Wozniacki dismantled Taipei's Yung-Jan Chan 6-1, 6-0 in 73 minutes at Armstrong Stadium, while the 14th-seeded former world No. 1 Sharapova double-bageled helpless American teenager Beatrice Capra 6-0, 6-0, also in 73 minutes, at Ashe Stadium. Sharapova lost to an American teenager, Melanie Oudin, in the third round here a year ago, but history did not even come close to repeating itself on Saturday.
Wozniacki and the three-time major champion Sharapova will meet in a blockbuster fourth-round match here. The 23-year-old Sharapova is 2-0 lifetime against the 20-year-old Dane, with both matches coming in 2008.
The Russian Sharapova captured her U.S. Open title back in 2006. Wozniacki lost to former top-ranked Belgian star Kim Clijsters in last year's finale in Flushing.
Wozniacki has won 11 straight and 17 of her last 18 matches, including titles in her last two events, in Montreal and New Haven, respectively. The talented Dane is seeking her fourth title in five events overall.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon quarterfinalist Kaia Kanepi stunned the former world No. 1 Jankovic 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The 31st-seeded Estonian dismissed the fourth-seeded Jankovic in 1 hour, 48 minutes, as the Serbian star piled up 41 unforced errors and had her suspect serve broken on five occasions amid very windy conditions on Day 6.
"It was really tough to play tennis, because, I mean, it's tough to serve, tough to hit the balls," Jankovic said. "The balls move all over the place, and I had a really hard time over there. Unfortunately, I lost."
Jankovic lost to American great Serena Williams in the 2008 final here.
German Andrea Petkovic reached the "Sweet 16" without even lifting her racquet on Saturday, as her scheduled opponent, Chinese Peng Shuai, pulled out of the draw, thus giving the German a walkover into the next round.
