Wozniacki’s defeat completed a disastrous 12 months in which the Dane relinquished the number one ranking and failed to threaten at any of the major championships.
The world number 10 started strongly but wilted as Pervak, a 21-year-old qualifier on the comeback trail from a serious pelvic injury, committed 61 unforced errors but still completed a 2-6 6-3 7-6 (7-1) victory for her first win against a top 10 player. “Had a lot of long rallies and a lot of even games, and it just didn’t go my way,” said Wozniacki. “Obviously it’s tough to lose 7-6 in the third.”
