A summer she will never forget for all sorts of reasons could take another remarkable turn for Caroline Wozniacki with a serious run at the US Open title. Just as her high profile split from the Northern Irishman has ignited his golf the same could be said – albeit on a slightly lower plane – for her tennis, and last night she scored one of the best wins of her career. In steaming humidity on the Arthur Ashe Stadium she overcame fifth seed Maria Sharapova 6-4 2-6 6-2 to score a hugely popular victory that puts her through to the last eight.
