Caroline Wozniacki lost to Serena Williams in the semifinals of the 2011 US Open. So another major passes without Wozniacki winning her first. She's still the No. 1-ranked player in the WTA singles rankings, though.
Did you watch the match on CBS? The announcers, primarily John McEnroe, spoke about the Williams-Wozniacki matchup not on as if the outcome was a foregone conclusion, but as if Wozniacki had no chance whatsoever. I believe McEnroe said something along the lines of "if Wozniacki does (all the things she has to do), maybe she can extend the match a little bit."
As it turns out, Wozniacki did get steamrolled. Still, it was odd to hear the No. 1-ranked player in the world talked about in that manner. Clearly, Caroline is a very, very good player, but just as clearly, she still has plenty of improving to do.
