2. Second-round scoreboard-report: Hantuchová v Wozniacki
(Tuesday 12th August)

- DANIELA HANTUCHOVÁ [10,EF] lt. Caroline Wozniacki, 1-6 3-6
Swan
You glide above the thrashing
Release the catches
Strain your wings behind your back
[Scott Walker, "Face On Breast" from _Tilt_]
The match started on Court 1 at 10:49 China-time. I followed live

First set
---------
HANTUCHOV ___*___ 1
WOZNIACKI *@* *@* 6
Wozniacki won the first set 6-1 at 11:16 (27 minutes). I'm watching
Cornet v Peng on BBCi at the same time, and I thought Cornet was
humiliating Peng, but Wozniacki has beaten her to winning the first
set despite a slightly later start.
Second set
----------
HANTUCHOV __* *__@_ 3
WOZNIACKI @* * *@ @ 6
David Garrido (commentating on Cornet v Peng): "Seems to have pretty
much all the elements of her game formed, the young Dane."
And courtesy of the break back from 2-5*, Daniela has managed to
detain Wozniacki past the end of Cornet's win over Peng - but only
just, as Wozniacki won 6-1 6-3 at 11:59 (second set 43m, match 1h10m).

Schiavone and Wozniacki upset seeds in Women's Singles
http://en.beijing2008.cn/news/sports/headlines/tennis/n214532732.shtml
>>>
Italian Francesca Schiavone and Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark both
surprised higher-seeded opponents to advance to the final 16 of the
Women's Singles event at the Olympic Green Tennis Centre on Tuesday
12th August.
Rising Danish star Wozniacki pulled off another surprise, defeating
No.10 seed Daniela Hantuchová of Slovakia 6-1 6-3 to book a spot in
the third round.
The Dane took advantage of 42 unforced errors from her opponent to
take control, and although Hantuchová broke back when Wozniacki
served for the match, she regrouped to break back and secure the win.
"I feel like I played a good game, and I'm so happy that I won over
Hantuchová," Wozniacki said.
"It's a great win for me as she is a very good player."
