Filed under: U.S. Open, WTANEW YORK -- Caroline Wozniacki's dress was too short, and she beat Maria Sharapova at the U.S. Open Monday. Are both of those things necessary in the making of a women's tennis star?
"I definitely am sure,'' Wozniacki said, "I'll get a lot of male fans now.''
She laughed. And she's right.
Wozniacki had just beaten Sharapova 6-3, 6-4 at Ashe Stadium, and now has the clearest possible path to the final. This also was a defining moment for Wozniacki, who just took the first step to becoming a star that non-tennis fans will know.
As of now, they had no idea that she is the No. 1 seed here, that she is ranked No. 2 in the world.
And that if she wins three more matches here, she'll pass Serena Williams to No. 1 in the world ranking on Monday.
Wozniacki is probably the most overlooked No. 1 seed in U.S. Open history. I'm not saying that no one is giving her a chance to win. Instead, hardly anyone has even noticed she was here at all.
