Wozniacki tops in Brussels
By SPORTS NETWORK


BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Caroline Wozniacki earned her fourth WTA title of the year with a three-set win over China's Peng Shuai in the final of the inaugural Brussels Ladies Open.

The top-seeded Wozniacki rallied for a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory Saturday in her final tuneup for the French Open, which starts Sunday in Paris. The 20-year- old Dane won previously this year at Dubai, Indian Wells and Charleston, but now has her sights set on a first career Grand Slam championship.

Despite 16 career WTA titles, Wozniacki has yet to claim one of the four major tournaments. She was a semifinalist at the Australian Open in January and has been to just one Grand Slam final -- losing to Kim Clijsters in the 2009 U.S. Open title match.

The world's top-ranked player will begin her quest for that elusive Slam title next week at Roland Garros with a first-round match against Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm.

Peng, seeded eighth this week, fell to 0-4 all-time in WTA finals. She hadn't been to a title match since 2008.

Wozniacki improved to 16-10 all-time in WTA finals, including 4-2 this year. She also won for the third time in four lifetime meetings with Peng and earned a first prize of $103,000.















Do you think it's a good idea for the U.S. Open to hold the men's final on a Monday?
