It was not a a good day for top seed Caroline Wozniacki and second-seeded Vera Zvonareva. Both seeds lost in straight sets yesterday in the second round in Sydney.
Wozniacki went out, 6-3, 6-3, to Dominika Cibulkova, while Zvonareva exited with a, 7-5, 7-5, upset from Flavia Pennetta. Ironically, both players played the Hong Kong exhibition last week where the Dane lost to the Russian in the final.
Wozniacki is not too worried about her run in Melbourne with this lost.
“It happens,” the Dane told reporters. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. You need to learn from the losses.
"It’s the first tournament of the year. I just want to get the match playing going. There were a few positive things in there that I can take out of it, and then I just need to work on the rest. But I’m confident that for Melbourne I’ll be okay”.
