Tennis: Stosur, Wozniacki advance at Charleston

“I felt like I really served well and returned well today,” says Wozniacki.

CHARLESTON: Ex-champions Sam Stosur and Caroline Wozniacki cruised into the third round of the WTA Tour’s Family Circle Cup, while Venus Williams had to battle her way through. The second-seeded Wozniacki breezed past Spaniard Silvia Soler-Espinosa 6-1, 6-1 just under an hour, while the third-seeded Aussie Stosur routed New Zealand’s Marina Erakovic 6-1, 6-2 on the green clay at Daniel Island Tennis Center.  “I felt like I really served well and returned well today,” said Wozniacki. Williams, the fifth seed who won the title here in 2004, had to work harder to get past 19-year-old Puerto Rican Monica Puig as she advanced 6-2, 5-7, 6-3.
