Wozniacki advances to Danish Open quarters

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki rallied from a set down to reach the Danish Open quarterfinals with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 win Thursday over Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic.

The 3rd-ranked Wozniacki was broken five times in the first set, where only one of the games went with serve. But the third-ranked Dane then found her stride and held serve the rest of the way, adding two breaks in the second set and three in the third.

Wozniacki will face fifth-seeded Julia Goerges of Germany for a spot in the semifinals.
