Earlier today in Miami, Caroline returned to action for her opening match where she defeated Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-2, 7-5. Good win for Caro.

She got off to a good start by dominating the first set and held up well in the face of Mattek-Sands` revived play in the second set to win it in straight sets. So it was a good performance for Caroline today, which is a good start for her in Miami.

Anyway here are some pics from today`s match along with a couple of pics from the Players` Party.

Good job Caroline.

Thanks for starting this thread here at Sports.

Wingster · 03-25-2011, 10:08 PM

cool..what inspired this

Hot Rod · 03-26-2011, 10:58 PM

Glad that y`all love the thread.

I`ve been toying with starting it for a while and decided to do so after Caroline won the title at Indian Wells last week. Hopefully we`ll get some more fellow Caro fans here soon.

She returned to action last night in Miami where she defeated Daniela Hantuchova 6-1, 7-6(7). Good win for Caro.

She looked very sharp in dominating the first set and held up nicely in the face of Daniela Hantuchova`s revived play in the second set to win the match in straight sets. Overall it was a nice solid performance from Caroline. Next up for her in the quarterfinals will be Andrea Petkovic. I think that this could be a tough match for Caroline. She will need to come out strong much like she did last night. I really hope that she will do well in the match.

Anyway here are some pics from last night`s match.

Hot Rod · 03-28-2011, 03:18 PM

Well Caroline`s run in Miami sadly came to an end earlier today as she was upset by Andrea Petkovic 5-7, 6-3, 3-6.

What a tough loss for Caro.

She didn`t seem to have that spark we`ve been seeing from her lately and wasn`t able to play her usual steady game as she had a lot of unforced errors, especially on her forehand, which didn`t help her cause against an aggressive Andrea Petkovic. I don`t know what else is there to say other than this was a disappointing performance from Caroline. Fortunately she will stay at #1 at least through April 18. Right now i think that Caro needs to take a much needed break after playing a lot of matches in the last month. Hopefully she will come back strong for the clay court season.

Add me please

, I'm a big fan of Miss Sunshine!
Caro is love!

Good luck to her in Charleston!

Welcome to the thread.

I`m very happy to have you on board.

I`ve added you to the list.

Also thanks for sharing those great avatars with us.

I hope that you won`t mind if i use one of them.

Since you mentioned Charleston, here is Caroline`s half of the draw for the Family Circle Cup:

Family Circle Cup singles:

(1)Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) v BYE
Magdalena Rybarikova (SVK) v (Q)Irina Falconi (USA)
Zuzana Ondraskova (CZE) v Anastasia Rodionova (AUS)
Andrea Hlavackova (CZE) v (15)Barbora Zahlavova Strycova (CZE)

(9)Maria Kirilenko (RUS) v Varvara Lepchenko (USA)
(Q)Anna Tatishvili (GEO) v Jelena Dokic (AUS)
Jie Zheng (CHN) v (Q)Monica Puig (PUR)
(6)Yanina Wickmayer (BEL) v BYE

(3)Jelena Jankovic (SRB) v BYE
Tamira Paszek (AUT) v Melanie Oudin (USA)
(wc)Shelby Rogers (USA) v Jill Craybas (USA)
Chanelle Scheepers (RSA) v (13)Patty Schnyder (SUI)

(10)Daniela Hantuchova (SVK) v Alla Kudryavtseva (RUS)
Petra Martic (CRO) v Evgeniya Rodina (RUS)
(Q)Heather Watson (GBR) v Christina McHale (USA)
(8)Alisa Kleybanova (RUS) v BYE

Caroline`s half looks favorable for the most part, although there are a few players like Yanina Wickmayer and Jelena Jankovic that will present a challenge for her. I really hope that Caro will do well in Charleston. It would be nice to see her get the clay court season off to a good start by winning the title.

Anyway here is a pic of Caroline at the players` party along with some new pics for a new ad campaign from Rolex.

Hot Rod · 04-06-2011, 08:57 PM

Caroline made her return to action earlier today in Charleston where she routed Irina Falconi 6-1, 6-1. Good win for Caro.

She looked pretty sharp in easily winning her opening match. This is a good start for her. Caroline will be back in action tomorrow as she will take on Barbora Zahlavova Strycova. This will be their second meeting with Caro winning the previous meeting in Charleston last year 6-4, 6-1. This looks like a favorable match for Caro, although she shouldn`t take it easily. I really hope that she will do well in it.

Anyway here are some pics from today`s match.

I like Caroline`s new outfit,

especially since it nicely showcases her curves and legs.

Good job Caroline.

I like it too! Looks good on her!

Well done Caro, very convincing win over Falconi!
Good luck against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova today! It's great that Eurosport will show the match!

Hot Rod · 04-08-2011, 01:50 AM

Caroline was back in action yesterday at Charleston and she had a tough time against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, but managed to come out with a 7-6(6), 7-6(9) win. Good win for Caro.

This was quite a tough battle for her, especially in the tiebreakers where she jumped out to good leads in them, but Barbora Zahlavova Strycova rallied back in both of them to take the lead. However Caro did a good job of keeping her poise and stepping up her play when she needed to come out with the win. I`m very pleased with how well she responded to the tough challenge. Coming up later today in the quarterfinals will be Yanina Wickmayer. I think that this looks like another tough match for Caroline. She will need to come out strong right from the start. I really hope that she will do well later today.

SprockLV · 04-08-2011, 07:11 AM

Yeah, it was really tough match but she pulled through even playing below her level and Zahlavova Strycova was playing pretty good in this match, most of her drop shots and volleys were succesful!
Good luck to Caro against Wickmayer today!

Hot Rod · 04-08-2011, 10:42 PM

Yesterday in Charleston, Caroline defeated Yanina Wickmayer 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. Good win for Caro.

This was another tough match for her. She really had trouble with Yanina Wickmayer`s power game for much of the match, but did a good job of keeping her poise, especially when she came back from down 0-40 at 4-4 in the second set and 2-4 in the third set. A lot of players would`ve fallen apart mentally, but Caro really showed some mental toughness in the match. Coming up later today, she will take on Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals. This will be their second meeting of the year, with Caroline winning the previous meeting at Dubai 7-5, 6-3. I expect another tough match for Caro. She will need to come out better than she did in yesterday`s match. I really hope that Caroline will do well in today`s match.

Anyway here are some pics from today`s match.

Good job Caroline.

Hot Rod · 04-09-2011, 06:37 PM

Earlier today in Charleston, Caroline advanced to the final as she defeated Jelena Jankovic 6-4, 6-4. Good win for Caroline.

She got off to another slow start, but started to get it going by playing more aggressively and extending the rallies as much as possible, which wore down Jankovic mentally. I especially love the nice net play from Caro. Now it`s on to the final for Caro tomorrow, where she will face Elena Vesnina. She is 4-1 against the Russian, with half of the wins on green clay at the now defunct tournament at Ponda Vedra Beach. I think that this could be another tough match for Caroline. She will need to come out strong and show the aggressive play we saw from today`s match. I really hope that Caroline will do well in tomorrow`s match.

Anyway here are some pics from today`s match.

Good job Caroline.

SprockLV · 04-10-2011, 05:38 AM

2 great wins by Caro! Very well done! She's playing better with every match!

Now take the title Caro! Good Luck!
