00:00 - 00:26
and we're underway from inside Arthur
00:03 - 00:29
Ashe Stadium antenna circles still you
00:26 - 00:32
know oh well Maria Sharapova one of the
00:29 - 00:33
highest-earning asked female athletes in
00:32 - 00:36
the world in any sport
00:33 - 00:38
she certainly has that marquee name and
00:36 - 00:41
that value but she if she's an a-lister
00:38 - 00:44
in those circles she only has an A game
00:41 - 00:46
there's no plan B there's only one way
00:44 - 00:50
she performs that's hard fast flat balls
00:46 - 00:52
swinging for the fences conversely for
00:50 - 00:54
Wozniacki there's a little bit more
00:52 - 00:55
variation and it seems of late she's
00:54 - 01:10
starting to add a few different wrinkles
00:55 - 01:13
to try to take on the elite players able
01:10 - 01:15
to balance everything that's going on in
01:13 - 01:16
her personal life with how many
01:15 - 01:19
businesses she's getting involved with
01:16 - 01:20
and she is an entrepreneur now and to be
01:19 - 01:25
able to still come out here and stay as
01:20 - 01:25
focused as she does it's very impressive
01:53 - 01:56
make a good point because if anybody
01:55 - 02:00
seemed to have been going for the
01:56 - 02:03
spotlight it seems to be Maria so many
02:00 - 02:05
questions and so much attention to her
02:03 - 02:08
off court exploits both with her
02:05 - 02:10
endorsements and her personal life
02:08 - 02:13
socially and she just dismisses all of
02:10 - 02:18
that it keeps everything between the
02:13 - 02:20
lines when she's on the tennis court I'm
02:18 - 02:22
sure the tennis is an outlet for her to
02:20 - 02:24
to get away from all that and she can
02:22 - 02:30
come out here and just focus on what
02:24 - 02:31
what she's best at now for Wozniacki
02:30 - 02:33
she's come under a lot of scrutiny
02:31 - 02:34
because of her personal life and won't
02:33 - 02:36
really delve into that but more
02:34 - 02:38
importantly for her tennis life she
02:36 - 02:40
seems to be making some subtle changes
02:38 - 02:41
she's always been terrific at being able
02:40 - 02:43
to be a retriever
02:41 - 02:45
a backboard putting the ball back in
02:43 - 02:47
play but those wrinkles I spoke of
02:45 - 02:49
there's been a couple subtle changes
02:47 - 03:04
that seem to help raise her level of
02:49 - 03:08
play lately dare I say she's become a
03:04 - 03:10
bit more aggressive and put to you maybe
03:08 - 03:12
even a little boy not as allergic is
03:10 - 03:13
coming to the net as she used to be well
03:12 - 03:15
I think there's a couple things I think
03:13 - 03:18
her serve has definitely improved in the
03:15 - 03:19
last year I think she's gotten fitter so
03:18 - 03:22
even though she moved well before I
03:19 - 03:24
think her movements even better now and
03:22 - 03:27
I also think she's taking a little bit
03:32 - 03:36
Sharapova misses the mark with a
03:34 - 03:38
forehand trying to battle back into the
03:36 - 03:42
opening game but can't do so in Caroline
03:38 - 03:47
Wozniacki with ten seed gives herself a
03:42 - 03:49
one love lead well don't forget we would
03:47 - 03:51
like to hear from you here at our
03:49 - 03:55
coverage of the US Open we encourage
03:51 - 03:59
your input join the discussion at u.s.
03:55 - 04:02
optimum two zero one four or you could
03:59 - 04:04
say at us optimum 2014 so whatever your
04:02 - 04:05
preference tell us what you think of the
04:04 - 04:06
match the matchup itself who you think
04:06 - 04:11
you can even predict the score there's
04:08 - 04:13
no prize but we perhaps would send a
04:11 - 04:16
little shout-out to you for your input
04:13 - 04:22
on Twitter once again the address at
04:16 - 04:24
u.s. optimum 2014 so Sharapova down to
04:22 - 04:26
the south end now the sun's starting to
04:24 - 04:28
tuck again behind this gray skies
04:26 - 04:30
overhead we've had beautiful weather up
04:28 - 04:33
to this point absolutely sublime with
04:30 - 04:35
just one day Wednesday exceeding 90
04:33 - 04:38
degrees Fahrenheit everything else has
04:35 - 04:43
been uncharacteristically cool and fine
04:38 - 04:46
and gorgeous today a bit sticky
04:49 - 04:56
I think I know the answer Jill but it's
04:54 - 04:58
my job sometimes suppose questions new
04:56 - 05:00
so I wonder now that we've seen six days
04:58 - 05:03
of gorgeous weather that have been dry
05:00 - 05:05
and very even with the humidity in the
05:03 - 05:07
air they're so heavy does that have an
05:05 - 05:09
impact on this match for either player
05:07 - 05:12
does it give it either an advantage I
05:09 - 05:13
think it definitely has an impact on on
05:12 - 05:15
players in general especially when the
05:13 - 05:23
conditions have changed so much from one
05:15 - 05:25
day to the next but I think in this case
05:23 - 05:29
and mismatch I think those players their
05:25 - 05:30
stamina is so good and you rarely see
05:29 - 05:32
either one of these players getting
05:30 - 05:33
tired or cramping that in this
05:32 - 05:36
particular match I don't think it's
05:33 - 05:36
gonna be quite a factor
05:55 - 05:59
that's where I was the athlete dangerous
05:58 - 06:01
just moving the ball down this board I
05:59 - 06:03
think she's doing a better job so far
06:01 - 06:04
she used to be a pretty predictable
06:03 - 06:07
player where she had a lot of cross
06:04 - 06:09
court cross court shots off the forehead
06:07 - 06:10
and the backhand and waited for her
06:09 - 06:13
opportunities but she seems to be mixing
06:10 - 06:13
it up a little bit more right now
06:49 - 06:55
talk about Jill the fact that she's an
06:52 - 06:57
a-lister a name but there is no plan B
06:55 - 06:59
for Sharapova talk about that risk for
06:57 - 07:01
reward sort of aspect of just hitting
06:59 - 07:06
big all the time she sticks with it
07:01 - 07:09
never wavers already six unforced errors
07:06 - 07:12
for Sharapova a chance for Wozniacki to
07:09 - 07:14
get ahead to love relying on those gifts
07:27 - 07:33
to get to your question I think that's a
07:30 - 07:35
strength of Sharapova but I also think
07:33 - 07:38
it can be a weakness because she has the
07:35 - 07:40
type of game where she can overpower and
07:38 - 07:41
she comes out and she's gonna play her
07:40 - 07:42
game her print her game is to go after
07:42 - 07:46
take some risks and that's her style and
07:45 - 07:48
she's she gets away with it a lot but I
07:46 - 07:50
think if something is off if she's not
07:48 - 07:52
feeling quite right it can also be a
07:50 - 07:54
weakness because the errors can come
07:52 - 07:57
especially against a consistent player
07:54 - 07:57
like Louis Anthony
08:12 - 08:17
she had her it's a good forehand down
08:15 - 08:18
the line shot and that's what I was
08:17 - 08:21
talking about earlier she's mixing it up
08:18 - 08:23
much better she used to go to that rely
08:21 - 08:25
on that forehand cross-court and just
08:23 - 08:26
keep Lauren cross-court forehand
08:25 - 08:27
cross-court but there she mixed it up
08:26 - 08:30
well with the down the line shot she had
08:27 - 08:32
the opening but just overdid it a little
08:44 - 08:51
I'll be a third try for Caroline to get
08:48 - 08:51
the upper hand through two games
09:50 - 09:54
and there's the forehand through the
09:52 - 09:56
court Sharapova no chance to close in
09:54 - 09:59
and Caroline Wozniacki
09:56 - 10:07
able to convert her third breakpoint for
09:59 - 10:09
a to love starts a Wozniacki does have
10:07 - 10:14
to remember she played a terrific match
10:09 - 10:17
four years ago round of 16 2010 US Open
10:14 - 10:19
here she finds herself in the fourth
10:17 - 10:22
round in 2014 if she can sort of dial
10:19 - 10:24
the time machine back go back for that
10:22 - 10:27
well-constructed victory in straight
10:24 - 10:29
sets which she won 6-3 6-4 she'll have a
10:27 - 10:31
pretty good chance today but I think
10:29 - 10:33
Jill you said something very key about
10:31 - 10:36
that one of Wozniak he's two victories
10:33 - 10:38
in seven meetings with Sharapova is that
10:36 - 10:44
she's probably even more fit as well as
10:38 - 10:46
her tennis IQ has risen mentally just
10:44 - 10:47
her strategy is a little bit different
10:46 - 10:50
already from the first couple games
10:47 - 10:52
she's not as predictable she's moving
10:50 - 10:55
the ball a little bit more using more
10:52 - 10:57
areas of the court and keeping Sharapova
10:55 - 10:58
on the move which is Keoghan Sharapova
10:57 - 11:01
you want to keep her on the move you
10:58 - 11:03
want to get her on the stretch and
11:01 - 11:06
that's been working so far the first few
11:03 - 11:06
games couple games
11:18 - 11:23
Sharapova definitely doesn't make it
11:20 - 11:24
easy to do that when she hits the ball
11:23 - 11:27
it's such a great power and great depth
11:24 - 11:28
but so far Wozniacki doing a good job of
11:27 - 11:30
mixing it up and when she gets her
11:28 - 11:33
opportunity stepping into the court but
11:30 - 11:38
Maria great backhand cross-court there
11:33 - 11:38
really turned well on that backhand side
11:45 - 11:55
I broke out a word earlier to describe
11:53 - 11:57
Caroline Wozniacki latest sort of
11:55 - 11:59
mindset in how she approaches gaming a
11:57 - 12:02
word that was not associated with her
11:59 - 12:04
prior and that's aggressiveness and she
12:02 - 12:07
seems to be with father theater who was
12:04 - 12:09
serving as her coach as well that they
12:07 - 12:11
have finally decided that yes Caroline
12:09 - 12:13
has to find a way she can't just be back
12:11 - 12:16
retrieving in force errors from her
12:13 - 12:17
opponents some of that has to do with
12:16 - 12:20
the groundstrokes being far more
12:17 - 12:22
penetrating better depth better speed
12:20 - 12:23
and hey that's a second ace already she
12:22 - 12:25
could go a whole tournament without
12:23 - 12:28
hitting two hexes a couple years back
12:25 - 12:30
well I think that style of tennis worked
12:28 - 12:32
well for her for a while because she was
12:30 - 12:34
relatively new on the tour so people
12:32 - 12:36
didn't really get used to fake type of
12:34 - 12:38
games she played but that only lasts for
12:36 - 12:42
so long once you play players over and
12:38 - 12:42
over again they get used to your style
12:43 - 12:48
fantastic effort to get to three love
12:45 - 12:55
will see Sharapova's response as a round
12:48 - 12:57
of sixteen underway on day 17 bright
12:55 - 13:00
sunshiny day with a lot of steam eNOS
12:57 - 13:04
it's a bit of a steam bath in New York
13:00 - 13:06
City on this middle Sunday not only the
13:04 - 13:07
tournament itself but a three-day
13:06 - 13:08
weekend in the United States wherever
13:07 - 13:09
you're watching around the world we
13:08 - 13:13
appreciate it whether you're in South
13:09 - 13:14
Africa the Philippines India social
13:13 - 13:16

13:14 - 13:17
from all over the globe as well as here
13:16 - 13:20
in the United States watching this
13:17 - 13:22
contest between two former number ones
13:20 - 13:25
Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki
13:22 - 13:27
but it's been one-sided to this point
13:25 - 13:31
Sharapova broke it in her only service
13:27 - 13:31
game trying to get on the scoreboard
13:52 - 13:55
by the way there was a not-so-subtle
13:54 - 13:57
reminder from our social media
13:55 - 13:59
department to tell us where you're
13:57 - 14:02
watching from if you do send us a tweet
13:59 - 14:04
at us optimum 2014 some food started
14:02 - 14:07
coming in expressing a lot of interest a
14:04 - 14:09
lot of predictions as I said South
14:07 - 14:13
Africa as well as the heart of Africa
14:09 - 14:17
all over the world viewing an intriguing
14:13 - 14:19
encounter between these two women's
14:17 - 14:22
winner to face Sara Errani
14:19 - 14:23
in the last eight victorious earlier
14:22 - 14:26
today against the Croatian Looch it's
14:43 - 14:46
Karoline thought that one's just a
14:45 - 14:48
little bit long I actually thought it
14:46 - 14:50
was wrong myself but she's not going to
15:16 - 15:21
first kind of loose error that we've
15:19 - 15:23
seen from Roe's nasty so far this match
15:21 - 15:26
is playing a pretty clean match in these
15:23 - 15:26
first few games
15:58 - 16:05
great job I Sharapova movin moving into
16:01 - 16:08
the court it's a great deep ball here
16:05 - 16:12
and just steps in really takes advantage
16:08 - 16:12
of the boys new Yaqui short ball
16:43 - 16:48
yeah there is a considerable breeze to
16:46 - 16:51
say the least blowing in from the south
16:48 - 16:56
end but it's not helping dissipate any
16:51 - 16:58
of the Chagnon there is a heaviness in
16:56 - 17:02
the air and both women are playing under
16:58 - 17:02
the WTA extreme heat rule
17:26 - 17:32
just binds the outside of the line and
17:28 - 17:38
Sharapova con the board the first ace
17:32 - 17:38
gets to her first game 18 minutes in
17:38 - 17:43
look from the South Plaza up towards the
17:41 - 17:46
flag that is blowing towards the north
17:43 - 17:48
towards the section that Maria Sharapova
17:46 - 17:50
has her back to now we do remind you
17:48 - 17:53
that US Open org is your site for all
17:50 - 17:55
information on the 2014 US Open live
17:53 - 17:59
score updates you can see the drawers
17:55 - 18:07
nothing's fair stories about tournament
17:59 - 18:10
as it unfolds and just as it make a
18:07 - 18:12
mention of what that means for this
18:10 - 18:16
match specifically at 1:00 p.m. the
18:12 - 18:18
wet-bulb Index was at 30 point 6 degrees
18:16 - 18:19
Celsius that means the extreme heat
18:18 - 18:22
weather policy is in effect for this
18:19 - 18:26
match with exceptional temperatures high
18:22 - 18:28
humidity the goes three sets that's
18:26 - 18:28
where the big
18:31 - 18:35
big stab from those the a key but no
18:34 - 18:37
problem the Sharapova moves to the
18:35 - 18:39
middle of court for the foot away and
18:37 - 18:41
Kevin going back to when you're talking
18:39 - 18:43
about the weather a little bit it's the
18:41 - 18:45
fact that it is a lot more humid today
18:43 - 18:47
can affect the way the ball travels
18:45 - 18:49
through the air the US Open tends to use
18:47 - 18:50
lighter balls which means it can go
18:49 - 18:52
pretty fast through the air but when
18:50 - 18:54
there's added humidity it really slows
18:52 - 18:56
the ball down so that can really be an
18:54 - 19:01
advantage to Wozniacki who likes to play
18:56 - 19:03
longer points and the way can impact
19:01 - 19:06
this match is that if it goes to a
19:03 - 19:08
decider between the second and third
19:06 - 19:12
sets if either player or both requests
19:08 - 19:20
they can have a 10-minute break before
19:12 - 19:22
play begins on that Thursday as part of
19:20 - 19:24
the rules at the WTA puts in place to
19:22 - 19:28
protect the players from extreme heat
19:24 - 19:28
and that rule is in effect
19:31 - 19:36
sheriff hobo starting to heat up trying
19:34 - 19:39
to make inroads against Wozniacki serve
19:36 - 19:50
she can get a break point for the first
19:39 - 19:53
time in these early stages that's an
19:50 - 19:56
aspect of the Yankees current form that
19:53 - 19:58
we haven't seen in years prior great job
19:56 - 19:59
by Lowe's neck here takes her time on
19:58 - 20:01
this approach shot she's see sure
19:59 - 20:04
whoever guesses right but just stays
20:01 - 20:07
with the volley so well she made that
20:04 - 20:07
probably look easier than it was
20:20 - 20:24
and Sharapova does have her first
20:49 - 20:55
pick job I wasn't up there really had a
20:53 - 20:57
good serve good choice to slice this the
20:55 - 20:59
ball was pretty low and the reason she's
20:57 - 21:01
able to hit that volley so well as she
20:59 - 21:03
moves forward to the net
21:01 - 21:09
she really closes the net and just cuts
21:03 - 21:14
off that angle yourself ample
21:09 - 21:16
opportunity to extend just smothering
21:14 - 21:18
the net it's the way three of four when
21:16 - 21:20
a little bit of the court thus far for
21:18 - 21:23
Caroline a more importantly break point
21:31 - 21:36
so have to contend with another a
21:34 - 21:38
Sharapova drills and other winners a gap
21:36 - 21:40
starting to close between winners and
21:38 - 21:43
unforced errors it was significant to
21:40 - 21:45
start at one point one winner to six
21:43 - 21:58
unforced errors now that's her sixth
21:45 - 22:00
winner versus nine miscues and the break
21:58 - 22:02
is hers the lead can't be held by
22:00 - 22:05
Wozniacki and we're back on serve in the
22:02 - 22:11
opening set a battle between two former
22:05 - 22:12
number one lot of passion for the sport
22:11 - 22:14
of tennis around the world
22:12 - 22:16
particularly for the big games and one
22:14 - 22:18
who elicits so much passion is Maria
22:16 - 22:21
Sharapova the it's almost that sort of
22:18 - 22:23
polarizing effect you're either with
22:21 - 22:26
Maria or you were sternly against her
22:23 - 22:29
for whatever reason the Twittersphere is
22:26 - 22:31
no different and you add to the mix
22:29 - 22:33
sprinkling in of sunshine caroline
22:33 - 22:37
is on fire we asked you for your
22:35 - 22:39
questions and comments about this
22:37 - 22:43
matchup hearing from places from africa
22:39 - 22:45
singapore pakistan trinidad saying
22:43 - 22:47
they're enjoying the coverage as well
22:45 - 22:51
Sharapova right back in it she's broken
22:47 - 22:51
something to try to get to three all
22:57 - 23:00
Wozniacki just doing such a great job at
22:59 - 23:04
the net right now she's really
23:00 - 23:05
incorporated that part of her game into
23:04 - 23:07
her tennis great
23:05 - 23:09
she recognizes Sharapova's out of
23:07 - 23:12
position just perfect short volley off
23:54 - 24:00
he's not doing a good job of returning
23:57 - 24:01
sharapov serve right now I think the
24:00 - 24:03
point before Sharapova got a little bit
24:01 - 24:07
surprised with such a deeper turn
24:53 - 24:58
great aggressive doing by Sharapova here
24:56 - 25:00
really setting up well for that for
24:58 - 25:03
handball C's broken e rosing a key out
25:00 - 25:07
of position and just smart choice to
25:03 - 25:07
take that last ball out of the air
25:25 - 25:32
that's insulting
25:27 - 25:33
Wozniak he's bid to break back stymied
25:32 - 25:35
somewhat puss an aggressive play by
25:33 - 25:37
short Bobo who usually really just
25:35 - 25:42
anchors herself on the bass line drawn
25:37 - 25:45
in taking the ball out of the air to
25:42 - 25:59
break points saved still has one left to
25:45 - 26:04
contend with at least for the moment and
25:59 - 26:06
that's tough to Loki wasn't acne will be
26:04 - 26:09
disappointed with that miss breakpoint
26:06 - 26:12
that's her strong side that backhand
26:09 - 26:14
side she just popped up a little bit too
26:12 - 26:17
much a little bit too high to need to
26:14 - 26:17
keep her legs a little bit lower
26:44 - 26:48
great shot by Sharapova here she was
26:46 - 26:49
really moving around the court but what
26:48 - 26:50
made the difference is she moved toward
26:50 - 26:55
you gave Wozniacki less time to react
26:53 - 26:57
but really just overpowered her on that
26:55 - 27:01
particular shot the depth just almost
26:57 - 27:05
painting the line from triple breakpoint
27:01 - 27:05
to a chance for through all
27:20 - 27:28
so much for that back to deuce second
27:24 - 27:31
double fault of this opening frame and a
27:28 - 27:35
tussle for the sixth game continues
27:52 - 27:56
and then sheriff while we're getting
27:54 - 28:00
stuck on that middle return that was
27:56 - 28:02
yeah he tends to hit really just got
28:00 - 28:04
caught didn't really move our feet on
28:41 - 28:47
fourth trifle wrote me a key to get the
28:44 - 28:49
four to is denied by Sharapova was
28:47 - 28:53
really starting to find the measure of
28:49 - 28:54
the court as Sharapova definitely
28:53 - 28:56
looking a little bit more comfortable
28:54 - 28:59
swinging through the ball she started
28:56 - 29:01
off a little bit hesitant but that's
28:59 - 29:03
crows neck he was intact he started off
29:01 - 29:05
strong taking a little bit more risk
29:03 - 29:13
that point towards me acting a little
29:05 - 29:18
bit more defensive off the frame of
29:13 - 29:19
Carolina has her drifts wide Sharapova
29:18 - 29:21
just might be able to answer the
29:19 - 29:24
three-game run that began the match by
29:26 - 29:38
it's already by far the longest exchange
29:29 - 29:42
as far as games in this opening set take
29:38 - 29:43
a punch and duration but Sharapova ever
29:43 - 29:48
she loves the battle she loves the fight
29:45 - 29:53
and she has evened it with three games
29:48 - 29:56
in her overall not the strong comeback
29:53 - 29:58
from Sharapova Wozniacki really came out
29:56 - 30:01
firing playing a little bit more risky
29:58 - 30:03
tennis Sharapova definitely upped her
30:01 - 30:04
game a little bit higher level in the
30:03 - 30:06
last three games served a little bit
30:04 - 30:09
better it was a little bit more
30:09 - 30:13
back to the drawing board for Caroline
30:13 - 30:20
three love start that's going Marie has
30:18 - 30:22
seemed to that and Caroline has to be
30:20 - 30:25
careful not to let all the momentum slip
30:22 - 30:28
away edge right now for Sharapova she
30:25 - 30:32
has really found a way to even her level
30:28 - 30:32
of play after a very sloppy start
30:54 - 31:00
Carolyn coming off a pretty strong
30:56 - 31:01
summer Cincinnati reached the
31:00 - 31:03
semi-finals lost to the eventual
31:01 - 31:05
champion Serena Williams but really
31:03 - 31:06
played a tough preset match that made a
31:05 - 31:09
lot of people sit up and take notice and
31:06 - 31:11
what's been pretty one-sided the contest
31:09 - 31:16
between the two Caroline put up a lot of
31:11 - 31:18
resistance perhaps to really shine at
31:16 - 31:21
the US Open once again and she's
31:18 - 31:32
performed well to get to this round of
31:21 - 31:35
16 encounter not just one of four semi
31:32 - 31:37
final appearances in p5 multiple a Andy
31:35 - 31:38
storm the other three and you can also
31:37 - 31:41
include a semi final run in Istanbul
31:38 - 31:42
where she won that match went on to take
32:23 - 32:27
and you can see why Sharapova has come
32:26 - 32:30
back a little bit in these last few
32:27 - 32:30
games you see the dynamic changing a
32:30 - 32:34
Caroline looking a little bit more on
32:32 - 32:36
her back foot
32:34 - 32:37
Sharapova stepping into the court a
32:36 - 32:38
little bit more going for shots a little
32:37 - 32:40
bit more than she did at the beginning
32:38 - 32:40
of the match
33:08 - 33:13
that run in Istanbul to the title by the
33:10 - 33:16
way for 22nd title of his career and the
33:13 - 33:23
first of 2014 the only one but it does
33:16 - 33:25
make it eight consecutive years now mind
33:23 - 33:27
you seven consecutive years that
33:25 - 33:30
Caroline has been able to capture at
33:27 - 33:30
least one title
33:32 - 33:40
Wow she had the marvelous output in 2010
33:38 - 33:44
and 2011 where she wants six titles in
33:40 - 33:49
each of those years number one in the
33:44 - 33:52
world much of that run reclaims the lead
33:49 - 33:54
slip of three consecutive games she's
33:52 - 33:58
back out in front the ten seed over the
33:54 - 34:00
five seed in Arthur Ashe Stadium back in
33:58 - 34:02
New York City the borough of Queens five
34:00 - 34:04
boroughs make up the metropolis that is
34:02 - 34:06
New York City most people associate it
34:04 - 34:09
with the borough of Manhattan where the
34:06 - 34:13
skyline is iconic around the world
34:09 - 34:16
there's also Staten Island as the Bronx
34:13 - 34:19
there's Brooklyn to go along with
34:16 - 34:25
Manhattan Queens Flushing Meadows
34:19 - 34:27
resides here near Astoria wonderful
34:25 - 34:31
restaurants nightlife
34:27 - 34:34
oh yeah and in September of each year
34:31 - 34:36
some of the best fans in the world their
34:34 - 34:39
boisterous they're loud they're
34:36 - 34:41
excitable right now they're enjoying
34:39 - 34:45
Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova
34:41 - 34:46
on a hot humid Sunday afternoon last day
34:46 - 34:50
Sharapova fell behind love 3 to start
34:49 - 34:52
the match made up three games of her own
34:50 - 35:00
and now she's serving to keep pace with
34:52 - 35:02
Wozniacki and its opening set it's been
35:00 - 35:05
intriguing Jill to watch the carousel a
35:02 - 35:07
bit of coaches and different names that
35:05 - 35:09
have been associated with each and gone
35:07 - 35:11
back and forth Caroline Wozniacki it's
35:09 - 35:13
been working with Team Adi Das and of
35:11 - 35:14
course an employee of that for a while
35:13 - 35:16
with spanked Rona Feld
35:14 - 35:18
and now you look over and Sharapova's
35:16 - 35:21
box there's spent just sitting there
35:18 - 35:25
smiling bright happy to be with the five
35:21 - 35:25
seed and former number one Sharapova
35:31 - 35:35
it's not a surprise really that the
35:34 - 35:37
players and coaches see each other all
35:35 - 35:40
the time everybody knows everybody
35:37 - 35:42
everyone's interacting with each other
35:40 - 35:44
and a lot of times you get a feel for if
35:42 - 35:46
if you think someone can help you a
35:44 - 35:47
little bit better than your current
35:46 - 35:49
coach and sometimes if things aren't
35:47 - 35:50
going well you need a change you feel
35:49 - 35:52
like you need a fresh start
35:50 - 35:55
so it's no surprise that sometimes there
35:52 - 35:58
are switches like that backing board
35:55 - 35:59
jerilyn maybe taking a page from Maria's
35:58 - 36:01
book because early in the year she
35:59 - 36:03
worked with Thomas Hawkes dead if I'm
36:01 - 36:05
not mistaken it's almost like deja boo'
36:03 - 36:07
that's where you're looking at Maria's
36:05 - 36:20
box and there was Thomas helping coach
36:07 - 36:22
Sharapova for an extended run it's great
36:20 - 36:24
for you but someone if someone
36:22 - 36:26
particularly says something in a certain
36:24 - 36:27
way and I look Siddhant creates a spark
36:26 - 36:28
you never know when that's gonna happen
36:27 - 36:30
and that could have happened talking
36:28 - 36:33
with another coach and the players
36:30 - 36:34
lounge or wherever and then all of a
36:33 - 36:37
sudden that's where the switches come
36:34 - 36:40
and you feel good with somebody so it
36:37 - 36:40
makes sense to switch at that point
36:43 - 36:49
sheriff over with Rona focused she did
36:46 - 36:51
win Roland Garros this year it was a
36:49 - 36:53
nice little injection of enthusiasm to
36:51 - 36:58
help her as she also will feel pretty
36:53 - 36:58
pleased with her performance for for all
36:58 - 37:02
as a view of the gray skies overhead
37:00 - 37:03
that are different from the first six
37:02 - 37:05
days we saw here in New York City there
37:03 - 37:07
is a chance of showers later tonight
37:05 - 37:10
that could impact the night session
37:07 - 37:12
tomorrow Labor Day a day off for most of
37:10 - 37:16
the United States in honor of American
37:12 - 37:18
workers and their efforts national
37:16 - 37:22
holiday hoping that rain doesn't have a
37:18 - 37:22
significant impact tomorrow as well
37:35 - 37:40
Michael Mortensen before all things were
37:38 - 37:44
scrapped and it's just let's go back to
37:40 - 37:47
dad familiar boys Peter Wozniacki has
37:44 - 37:48
been in her camp even when grown FL -
37:47 - 37:51
t-midi das was around March dead
37:48 - 37:58
Mortensen Victor always seems to be an
37:51 - 37:59
omnipresent fans have great support from
37:58 - 38:01
her a lot in her career when she started
37:59 - 38:04
and through this time in her career and
38:01 - 38:05
up till now and so she's been he's been
38:04 - 38:09
a great presence for her it's really
38:05 - 38:09
supporting her been pretty positive
38:16 - 38:20
it's been interesting to see the
38:18 - 38:22
transition to after the coaching changes
38:20 - 38:23
with kids are coming back and Caroline
38:22 - 38:26
now used to just sit there and just
38:23 - 38:30
whether the soliloquies the monologues
38:26 - 38:30
during encore coaching at other events
38:30 - 38:33
now she speaks her mind a little bit
38:32 - 38:35
interrupts in the time the true there's
38:33 - 38:36
more of a discourse as a place it just
38:35 - 38:38
went away traffic well I was just
38:36 - 38:40
thinking that because she's always been
38:38 - 38:43
looking over at her support group her
38:40 - 38:44
box all the time and now she feels to me
38:43 - 38:45
like she had a little bit more of a
38:44 - 38:47
confidence coming from within herself
38:45 - 38:52
and I think that's been a difference for
38:47 - 38:53
her this year question the results of
38:52 - 38:57
late seem to indicate that that self
38:53 - 38:57
belief starting to give her a boost
39:25 - 39:31
she liked it Maria I'm gonna wonder when
39:29 - 39:35
you up marathon November thank you for
39:31 - 39:38
the training I'm happy side to side that
39:35 - 39:40
was perfectly placed you couldn't have
39:38 - 39:46
asked for a more perfect shot right on
39:40 - 39:49
the line just out of Maria's reach she's
39:46 - 39:49
best at right there
39:50 - 39:54
Sharapova trying to make her advances
39:52 - 39:57
Wozniacki holding her off for the time
39:54 - 39:57
point away from putting herself back to
39:57 - 40:02
applying some scoreboard pressure to the
40:09 - 40:14
she's got that 5-4 lead Sharapova will
40:12 - 40:17
serve to prolong the opening set
40:14 - 40:20
otherwise it goes to Caroline they
40:17 - 40:24
battled for a spot amongst the last
40:20 - 40:26
eight at the US Open pretty solid start
40:24 - 40:29
for Caroline Wozniacki she took the
40:26 - 40:31
opening three games of the first set was
40:29 - 40:33
able to hold off Sharapova to reclaim
40:31 - 40:35
the lead she's plus one in the
40:33 - 40:37
differential eight winners to seven
40:35 - 40:40
unforced errors but no surprise its
40:37 - 40:42
Maria who's dictating play going for the
40:40 - 40:46
big shots has produced four more winners
40:42 - 40:52
with 12 but 10 more unforced errors 17
40:46 - 40:52
serving to stay in set number one
41:16 - 41:20
trio of double faults on the day
41:18 - 41:23
Sharapova not starting off as she wishes
41:20 - 41:23
to in this 10th game
41:40 - 41:45
during a return war down the middle from
41:43 - 41:48
Wozniacki that tends to be working so
41:45 - 41:50
far for her this match Maria's gonna
41:48 - 41:53
supply 19 unforced errors we keep it
41:50 - 41:56
well within the lines and let Maria hit
41:53 - 41:58
her way out be your own worst enemy back
41:56 - 42:01
to the forum that saw Wozniacki take
41:58 - 42:01
those first three games
42:06 - 42:11
one thing about Maria you can say though
42:09 - 42:13
maybe it's a good thing she's stubborn
42:11 - 42:15
she's just gonna go with what has
42:13 - 42:17
supplied her so much success over a
42:15 - 42:19
career she's the type of player that
42:17 - 42:20
even if you have trouble break point
42:19 - 42:22
against her you never feel like the game
42:20 - 42:25
is in your hands necessarily she's
42:22 - 42:28
always gonna compete fight hard and she
42:25 - 42:28
can come up with winning shots like that
42:32 - 42:37
tough miss Flores she's got a great
42:35 - 42:39
first step to move to the middle of the
42:37 - 42:41
court and had a lot of room to work with
42:39 - 42:47
real estate on both sides with just over
42:41 - 42:47
shoots tomorrow hey Jackie double-check
42:51 - 42:54
Caroline's telling her to so well
43:15 - 43:20
Conroy's Miyake
43:17 - 43:23
rematch slides in Maria Sharapova she
43:20 - 43:26
has the first set in Pocket trying to
43:23 - 43:27
get to the Elite Eight in New York City
43:27 - 43:32
Caroline Wozniacki takes the opening set
43:29 - 43:34
6-4 but if you say one thing about Maria
43:32 - 43:37
Sharapova a one-cent lead finally in
43:34 - 43:39
surmount not insurmountable but she is
43:37 - 43:41
also well she looks at that as a
43:39 - 43:44
personal challenge this season she has
43:41 - 43:46
played an abundance of three-set matches
43:44 - 43:47
and more often than not she comes out on
43:46 - 43:50
the winning end it has been unbelievable
43:47 - 43:53
to watch Sharapova just find that next
43:50 - 43:53
gear when it seems as if she's down and
43:53 - 43:57
she says excuse me I'm reassure polo
43:56 - 44:00
I've been number one in the world
43:57 - 44:02
I own a title at each of the four majors
44:00 - 44:04
and fight is my middle name
44:02 - 44:07
well we'll see if she can use that
44:04 - 44:08
middle name to her advantage she seeks
44:07 - 44:13
to come back from a set down against
44:08 - 44:14
Caroline Wozniacki look like she's lost
44:13 - 44:17
the first time here bouncing around
44:14 - 44:19
ready to go well she has to feel as if
44:17 - 44:21
she was in it she knows full well there
44:19 - 44:23
was just a little falter at the end of
44:21 - 44:26
the set as what hand he begins the
44:23 - 44:26
central track
44:30 - 44:34
the next full moment like it would be
44:33 - 44:36
one side of this Wozniacki took the
44:34 - 44:38
first three games but there's only a
44:36 - 44:41
single break from that point on
44:38 - 44:43
relatively even and you know that about
44:41 - 44:45
Sharapova she's had so many three-set
44:43 - 44:46
matches this year being down and coming
44:45 - 44:48
back winning those three set matches
44:46 - 44:50
that even if you're down three love in
44:48 - 44:51
the first set you feel like there's
44:50 - 44:53
definitely a possibility of her coming
44:51 - 44:56
back in that first set which she did for
44:53 - 44:57
a moment but good challenge for most
44:56 - 44:58
Yankee to come back and close that set
45:05 - 45:11
just an example that Maria has gone the
45:08 - 45:20
distance of three sets in seven of her
45:11 - 45:21
last 10 matches including her match up
45:20 - 45:26
in the second round here against doge
45:21 - 45:26
arrow where she lost the opening set 6-4
46:15 - 46:19
important sorry go ahead Kevin maybe
46:18 - 46:21
gonna pick up where you were about to
46:19 - 46:33
lead important for Wozniacki to get a
46:21 - 46:36
good start because of the fact that
46:33 - 46:39
Sharapova can be such a threat late in
46:36 - 46:44
matches and she you're never across the
46:39 - 46:44
line until that last point against her
47:53 - 47:58
good job from sheriff of sharapova here
47:56 - 48:02
again stepping into the court creating
47:58 - 48:03
less time for Wozniacki the more times
48:02 - 48:05
you can take away the heart is for
48:03 - 48:08
Caroline who does move so well
48:05 - 48:10
get over get a racket on ball we're
48:08 - 48:30
blasting the fifteenth winner of the
48:10 - 48:32
match show play very best exactly you
48:30 - 48:34
don't want to approve of controlling the
48:32 - 48:36
point from that backhand side she nice
48:34 - 48:39
touch good body burn on that backhand
48:36 - 48:41
straight down the line shot here and
48:39 - 48:44
really just again stepping into the
48:41 - 48:47
court doesn't even have to go to a wines
48:44 - 48:50
has enough power on that shot to push
48:47 - 48:50
put it past Bo's yaki
48:56 - 49:00
mr. chance for Sharapova to grab the
48:58 - 49:02
upper hand lease for the mobile here and
49:00 - 49:04
so important for Caroline to hold sir
49:02 - 49:06
put herself to the lead take care of the
49:04 - 49:10
things she can't control the Sharapova
49:06 - 49:12
start to feel far more comfortable and
49:10 - 49:18
being able to dictate how the course of
49:12 - 49:20
a point will go she's gonna swing away
49:18 - 49:24
regardless but now that she has found
49:20 - 49:25
that those lines aren't as tight as she
49:24 - 49:27
appeared to have them when she was
49:25 - 49:29
committing all those unforced errors in
49:27 - 49:35
the opening set Court has widened up
49:29 - 49:37
considerable driving forehand return a
49:35 - 49:40
good meter maybe even a meter and a half
49:37 - 49:43
inside the base line to get to another
49:40 - 49:45
breakpoint especially with trap Hill
49:43 - 49:46
they're making so many unforced errors
49:45 - 49:48
in the beginning of the match she wanted
49:46 - 49:50
to bring her targets in a little bit you
49:48 - 49:52
don't have to aim for the line until you
49:50 - 49:53
find your rhythm and you've noticed that
49:52 - 49:55
the winners that she hit they've been
49:53 - 50:01
far into the court not so close to the
49:55 - 50:04
line she's finding her range and there's
50:01 - 50:06
the break Wozniacki disgusted with
50:04 - 50:09
herself slams a ball to the surface
50:06 - 50:10
knowing she had the chance to get to one
50:09 - 50:13
love and Maria denies her that
50:10 - 50:15
opportunity so Sharapova already a step
50:13 - 50:17
in the right direction in her effort to
50:15 - 50:19
come back from a set down and that set
50:17 - 50:20
how did it look statistically Jill
50:20 - 50:24
explained well Sharapova has the higher
50:22 - 50:26
first serve percentage but Wozniacki
50:24 - 50:28
returned so well in that beginning first
50:26 - 50:30
set so that was definitely an advantage
50:28 - 50:31
for her and that's why she came away
50:30 - 50:33
with the first set Sharapova more
50:31 - 50:35
winners but again it was the unforced
50:33 - 50:37
errors that cost her that first set
50:35 - 50:39
triple the unforced errors from that
50:37 - 50:41
Wozniacki had with only the will exactly
50:39 - 50:43
had only seven to Sharapova's 21 so that
50:41 - 50:45
was the really big difference in the
50:43 - 50:47
first set how big a fighter is Maria
50:45 - 50:49
Sharapova when she needs to go three
50:47 - 50:51
sets or particularly more importantly as
50:49 - 50:55
pertains to this match when she's down a
50:51 - 50:58
set this is her 51st match of the year
50:55 - 51:01
and she needed to be her 21st to go the
50:58 - 51:04
full distance at three sets a 17 and
51:01 - 51:07
three record and going to a decider
51:04 - 51:08
including get this after running through
51:07 - 51:11
the opening three rounds at
51:08 - 51:13
roland-garros this year without dropping
51:11 - 51:16
a single set in order to capture the
51:13 - 51:22
trophy there her last four rounds all
51:16 - 51:23
four preset matches that includes a
51:22 - 51:24
round of 16 encounter with Samantha
51:24 - 51:28
a quarter final against Garvin yet
51:26 - 51:30
muguruza and her semi-final against
51:28 - 51:32
Eugenie Bouchard she lost the opening
51:30 - 51:34
set in all three of those matches to
51:32 - 51:36
booked herself into the final against
51:34 - 51:38
Simona Halep so she's not feeling too
51:36 - 51:41
bad right now this is the standard
51:38 - 51:43
procedure this is not a stressful moment
51:41 - 51:46
for Maria what first set you got it
51:43 - 51:49
okay well let's see how you fare through
51:46 - 51:49
the course of the next two
52:22 - 52:28
sixty minutes have elapsed we're in it
52:25 - 52:31
for the long haul just eleven games
52:28 - 52:34
played now into the 12th Sharapova 6-2
52:31 - 52:34
loves start of her own
52:52 - 52:56
probably just got a little bit caught on
52:54 - 52:58
that you good job you village the
52:56 - 52:59
quarter I've just reached a little bit
53:05 - 53:10
23000 when this biggest tennis only
53:09 - 53:13
stadium in the world is filled to
53:10 - 53:16
capacity not there today on this Sunday
53:13 - 53:20
it's still a lot of interests a lot of
53:16 - 53:22
spectators plugged in want to see the
53:20 - 53:30
exchange between those two remember
53:22 - 53:32
lungs don't forget you there's an
53:30 - 53:33
important point to be made about Arthur
53:32 - 53:35
Ashe Stadium in the coming future there
53:33 - 53:37
will be a roof over the stadium they
53:35 - 53:41
said it couldn't be done but the USTA
53:37 - 53:43
has found a way and by 2018 if not
53:41 - 53:44
sooner the roof will be over Arthur Ashe
53:43 - 53:46
Stadium that's good for two reasons
53:44 - 53:48
tonight there is a threat of rain for
53:46 - 53:50
the nice session with delay or a
53:48 - 53:52
proceedings the other aspect is gonna
53:50 - 53:55
make it more well
53:52 - 53:55
echo friendly
54:11 - 54:16
I want to talk about putting a roof on
54:14 - 54:18
this stadium so few years now and now
54:16 - 54:19
they're finally in the process of
54:18 - 54:21
getting the construction underway I
54:19 - 54:24
think it's because it's scheduled to be
54:21 - 54:27
finished around 2016 but the stadium is
54:24 - 54:30
so big it's going to be a massive
54:27 - 54:33
accomplishment to get that finished
54:30 - 54:36
so once lady the Armstrong Stadium
54:33 - 54:37
they're gonna move the grandstand east
54:36 - 54:43
over to the west over by the West
54:37 - 54:45
stadium six promoting to some of our
54:43 - 54:46
viewers that are responding with Twitter
54:45 - 54:48
comments or saying wow it's gonna be
54:46 - 55:06
even more of an echo inside Arthur Ashe
54:48 - 55:08
Stadium Maria Sharapova challenge will
55:06 - 55:11
come from Sharapova she thinks she has
55:08 - 55:14
her second game of this set in Pocket
55:11 - 55:16
where H each hack says the chase review
55:14 - 55:18
will see as to whether or not this did
55:16 - 55:19
indeed say along
55:18 - 55:21
that's what Sharapova's hoping for
55:27 - 55:32
I'm not so sure Sharapova was completely
55:30 - 55:34
100% sure that without but it was a good
55:32 - 55:37
challenge I mean it's close enough to
55:34 - 55:42
challenge that for the games close
55:37 - 55:44
enough yeah except of a pencil do the
55:42 - 55:46
separation that I made just family on
55:44 - 55:49
that line finds its way and well Jackie
55:46 - 55:49
says right where I aimed it
56:33 - 56:40
devastated just great exchange from both
56:37 - 56:43
players they're really high quality
56:40 - 56:46
tennis Sharapova just loved that
56:43 - 56:48
backhand wide she says a good job
56:46 - 56:51
stepping in creates such a good angle
56:48 - 56:52
there and just too strong her clothes
56:51 - 56:54
need to even react
56:52 - 56:56
Caroline's reply all Maria had to do a
56:54 - 56:59
little stutter step it was right in her
56:56 - 57:02
wheelhouse and she just slammed it
56:59 - 57:18
through the open court seventh winner in
57:02 - 57:20
this set yeah far cry she only had 13
57:18 - 57:24
winners in total and set number one it's
57:20 - 57:28
already more than half productivity far
57:24 - 57:31
more impressive having a bit of
57:28 - 57:31
difficulty getting to to love
59:10 - 59:16
more aces excuse me
59:13 - 59:17
one ace for double faults that would be
59:16 - 59:20
a far cry from what Murray has been able
59:17 - 59:22
to put out and it's a better percentage
59:20 - 59:24
of late she doesn't seem to be bitten by
59:22 - 59:27
the double fault bug as often as she did
59:24 - 59:30
say three four years ago but it still
59:27 - 59:30
creeps in from time to time
59:55 - 59:59
even that can be significant to some
59:57 - 60:01
degrees remember Sharapova didn't play
59:59 - 60:03
the US Open last year and she's had her
60:01 - 60:08
problems because of her right shoulder
60:03 - 60:10
her significant 2013 and a couple years
60:08 - 60:12
ago had reconstructive surgery to get
60:10 - 60:13
that shoulder back in shape no ice no
60:12 - 60:16
she's capable of throwing in those
60:13 - 60:19
double faults has a returner you wanna
60:16 - 60:21
take a step in on on the her first serve
60:19 - 60:25
especially her second serve take a step
60:21 - 60:25
in try and create more pressure that way
60:37 - 60:43
and despite the long duration of the
60:40 - 60:45
second game Wozniak ease momentum from
60:43 - 60:45
the opening set has come to a screeching
60:47 - 60:53
Sharapova to love and set number two and
60:50 - 60:55
so far the different Sharapova's really
60:53 - 60:56
cut down on her unforced errors this
60:55 - 60:58
said she's found her range a little bit
60:56 - 60:59
she brought in her targets and that's
60:58 - 61:01
what was happening in the first set she
60:59 - 61:02
was going for a little bit too much so
61:01 - 61:05
she's found the middle of the court more
61:02 - 61:07
and waited for her opportunities to step
61:05 - 61:09
to step up but even when she has that
61:07 - 61:11
short ball she's still aiming more in
61:09 - 61:12
the middle of the court and that's
61:11 - 61:15
what's helped her cut down on the on
61:12 - 61:15
those unforced errors
61:22 - 61:27
and for Caroline Wozniacki she seems to
61:24 - 61:28
be far more defensive now as the latter
61:27 - 61:29
stage is descent number one in the
61:28 - 61:32
beginning of the second frame they're
61:29 - 61:34
going on before she was able to sort of
61:32 - 61:36
use your defensive maneuvering to get to
61:34 - 61:41
the middle Corp be a bit more aggressive
61:36 - 61:41
put some offensive strategies in play
61:46 - 61:52
now she seems to be more likely win
61:48 - 61:55
Sharapova and her being able to dictate
61:52 - 62:01
the point that's a good sign from
61:55 - 62:06
Caroline's it started regroup here out
62:01 - 62:08
so she kind of half went for it but use
62:06 - 62:11
the left hand as well just found that
62:08 - 62:11
outside corner
63:23 - 63:30
Sharapova really tacky doors nice I can
63:26 - 63:32
second serve there creates such a great
63:30 - 63:34
angle on this shot and then really again
63:32 - 63:36
just steps into the court again not
63:34 - 63:40
towards the Lima in the middle of the
63:36 - 63:43
court doesn't be have to be so good
63:40 - 63:43
where you have to aim for the line
64:20 - 64:27
just long and Wozniacki
64:22 - 64:29
and better danger here this is exactly
64:27 - 64:32
playing into Sharapova's hands shift of
64:29 - 64:34
momentum I think its way towards an
64:32 - 64:35
identical start and set number two is
64:34 - 64:38
the opening set the only difference the
64:35 - 64:40
name in front of the actia three love
64:38 - 64:42
start the first frame share a photo
64:40 - 64:44
point away from matching that and set
65:08 - 65:12
we're just what you said you look at
65:10 - 65:14
getting Kevin a lot of this match has
65:12 - 65:18
been a then on Sharapova's racket
65:14 - 65:20
Miyake up in the first set
65:18 - 65:21
because of Sharapova's unforced errors
65:20 - 65:25
but also credit was in a key very
65:21 - 65:27
consistent play but again Sharapova head
65:25 - 65:29
now because she's cut down on those
65:51 - 65:56
we're at two of five today and
65:53 - 65:59
conversions of breakpoints three of six
65:56 - 65:59
that's it mighty nice with her
66:11 - 66:17
jacqui up against it the second set
66:14 - 66:21
belongs to Maria Sharapova thus far an
66:17 - 66:21
insurance break for a three love start
66:33 - 66:38
that's a lot of what we saw in the first
66:35 - 66:40
set from Wozniacki a little bit more
66:38 - 66:44
aggressive better return off the court
66:40 - 66:45
and just great job moving in taking this
66:44 - 66:46
ball out of the air short angle volley
66:45 - 66:48
cross-court winner
66:46 - 66:50
the fact that we haven't seen that over
66:48 - 66:51
the course of the last five games are so
66:50 - 66:53
going back to the end of the first set
66:51 - 66:56
which was the a key one is that more of
66:53 - 66:59
Maria imposing herself or to Caroline go
66:56 - 66:59
away from the strategy a bit
67:19 - 67:25
I think it was a little bit of both I
67:22 - 67:27
think Caroline after she won that first
67:25 - 67:28
set I think she relaxed a little bit too
67:27 - 67:30
much she was playing a little bit
67:28 - 67:32
further behind the base line which
67:30 - 67:34
caused her to retrieve a little bit too
67:32 - 67:36
much and it allowed Maria to step up and
67:34 - 67:40
take control more of more point so I
67:36 - 67:42
think it was a little bit of both making
67:40 - 67:59
it difficult for Caroline and Caroline
67:42 - 68:01
just easing off the gas a bit is always
67:59 - 68:05
so strong and that cannot swing volley
68:01 - 68:07
position from any area in the court
68:05 - 68:10
tends to hit that pretty well even from
68:07 - 68:10
a deep position
68:38 - 68:44
it's scrambling here from Wozniacki good
68:43 - 68:47
job Maria getting low on that ball and
68:44 - 68:50
again even moving backward just great
68:47 - 68:50
balance on that swing volley
69:04 - 69:08
she had it dialed up was niak he knows
69:08 - 69:12
if she can clear the high part of the
69:10 - 69:15
net down the line she'd be looking at
69:12 - 69:17
breakpoint she kicks the ball in
69:15 - 69:19
frustration what could have been now is
69:17 - 69:22
actually more likely to end up with
69:19 - 69:24
Sharapova taking all four games to start
69:35 - 69:42
that's indeed what happens Sharapova all
69:39 - 69:45
over Wozniacki for games played four
69:42 - 69:47
games by her name as she seeks the third
69:45 - 69:49

71:26 - 71:33
quite as strong as it was at the outset
71:28 - 71:39
of the match or the chaise review C was
71:33 - 71:41
gonna return the call that doesn't work
72:05 - 72:09
great job pillows nappy there again
72:08 - 72:11
that's what she did better in the first
72:09 - 72:13
set than she had the second set she's
72:11 - 72:15
really she really moved the ball around
72:13 - 72:17
took advantage of the power off of
72:15 - 72:21
Sharapova's return and just redirected
72:17 - 72:21
redirected it beautifully down the line
72:32 - 72:37
all right then
72:34 - 72:39
hour and 23 minutes into the match and
72:37 - 72:40
Caroline decides it's time to hit a
72:39 - 72:43
backhand winner
72:40 - 72:45
she was pacing herself waiting for the
72:43 - 72:47
right moment but she took more risks in
72:45 - 72:48
that first set like that she went for
72:47 - 72:49
those shots a little bit more in the
72:48 - 72:58
first step then she has so far in the
72:49 - 73:00
second and the hole finally on the board
72:58 - 73:05
and set number 2 trying to keep
73:00 - 73:07
Sharapova within reach fourth round in
73:07 - 73:12
Sharapova shored up her game
73:09 - 73:14
considerably in this second set you see
73:12 - 73:16
all the unforced errors the outpouring
73:14 - 73:19
of miscues in the opening frame well
73:16 - 73:21
only six in set number two that is
73:19 - 73:24
certainly one way of turning around your
73:21 - 73:26
fortunes she's also been able to get at
73:24 - 73:28
rose knee a key sir a few times twice to
73:26 - 73:31
be exact a couple of breaks to start off
73:28 - 73:34
a four love beginning rocky has held
73:31 - 73:36
four for one but there has been a not so
73:34 - 73:38
subtle shift in momentum pretty
73:36 - 73:40
one-sided imagine this second set
73:38 - 73:43
Sharapova really just upped her level
73:40 - 73:44
cut down those unforced errors but also
73:43 - 73:48
more winners overall through outfits
73:44 - 73:48
second set for Sharapova
73:55 - 74:01
13 winners so far the set for Sharapova
73:58 - 74:04
over Wozniacki is 5 doesn't post a lot
74:01 - 74:06
of aces generally there's a pair for
74:04 - 74:06
Sharapova thus far not her fastest serve
74:06 - 74:11
of the day either
74:06 - 74:14
she's cranked went out for her 10 miles
74:11 - 74:16
per hour that's pretty big that was 101
74:14 - 74:19
it's not really about that it's finding
74:16 - 74:23
some accuracy putting caroline wozniacki
74:19 - 74:26
on her heels really just trying to find
74:23 - 74:28
a way into a rally where she hopes feels
74:26 - 74:40
confident when she can dictate from both
74:28 - 74:42
sides remarkable sharapov has been able
74:40 - 74:44
to do set herself up post tennis not as
74:42 - 74:46
if she needs it per se with all the
74:44 - 74:50
endorsement money and prize money she
74:46 - 74:53
certainly earned her 30 million plus
74:50 - 74:55
prize money total and that's just in her
74:53 - 74:57
on court accomplishments but she's not
74:55 - 75:08
content with that she's headed for mogul
74:57 - 75:10
status the meritocrat of deals and off
75:08 - 75:11
court endorsements with companies and
75:10 - 75:14
this and that she's also set up some
75:11 - 75:15
pretty impressive ventures in the
75:14 - 75:17
business world and Nike apparel
75:15 - 75:21
collection that other players including
75:17 - 75:23
eugenie bouchard where Madison keys she
75:21 - 75:27
has a Cole Haan collection and of course
75:23 - 75:27
who can forget sugar PAVA
75:28 - 75:33
the line of candy sweet treats sometimes
75:32 - 75:34
she hands them out in the locker room I
75:33 - 75:37
understand I've never been there myself
75:34 - 75:40
so I can't say it's very good but it's
75:37 - 75:42
sugar so that's part of her plan while
75:40 - 75:45
she's playing let's load you guys down
75:42 - 75:48
with a lot of sugar you know put on a
75:45 - 75:52
couple of pounds how you move around the
75:48 - 75:54
court as a career extended and lengthens
75:52 - 75:57
on any advantage he can get Marie is a
75:54 - 75:57
fierce competitor
75:58 - 76:01
half a dozen double faults to go along
76:00 - 76:05
with the two aces we showed you moments
76:01 - 76:07
ago but really not sweating it out too
76:08 - 76:11
easing towards five one
76:28 - 76:33
come out here and focus as well as she
76:31 - 76:35
does for every match
76:33 - 76:38
yes it's borderline ridiculous I think
76:35 - 76:40
she can apply so much time to pursuits
76:38 - 76:43
off court while right in the crux of
76:40 - 76:45
what has been you know the prime of her
76:43 - 76:47
career and it's no doubt about it that
76:45 - 76:48
she has a great support group around her
76:47 - 76:50
helping her out with those things but
76:48 - 76:53
she likes to be involved with her other
76:50 - 76:55
work you don't expect her to be the site
76:53 - 76:58
that just says you know what I said I
76:55 - 77:00
want to just do five days and just sit
76:58 - 77:05
in the chair kick my feet up relax not
77:00 - 77:07
think about anything that's maybe just
77:05 - 77:11
her baby just to think about her next
77:07 - 77:12
business move possibly Wozniacki trying
77:11 - 77:15
to salvage something in this second set
77:12 - 77:18
the hold would accomplish at least part
77:15 - 77:21
of that she might not get the chance
77:18 - 77:23
Sharapova is just firing on all
77:21 - 77:26
cylinders literally showed you the
77:23 - 77:30
graphic and the opening set 13 winners
77:26 - 77:30
Murray and sent number 215
77:31 - 77:47
a third of the errors that she committed
77:34 - 77:50
the opening set where her shots were
77:47 - 77:52
missing the mark and extending beyond
77:50 - 77:54
the confines of the baited the painted
77:52 - 77:55
court now she's finding her way exactly
77:54 - 77:59
where she wants to hit with great
77:55 - 78:01
accuracy but you said it exactly she
77:59 - 78:04
found her way she wasn't hitting that
78:01 - 78:06
close to the line in the beginning of a
78:04 - 78:09
second set she had to find her range but
78:06 - 78:09
now she feels more comfortable she
78:22 - 78:25
amazing taking that out of the air from
78:23 - 78:28
losing a key she was inside the court
78:25 - 78:28
that was her only option
79:00 - 79:05
that's one of Caroline's strengths right
79:02 - 79:07
there the backhand down the line really
79:05 - 79:10
just redirects that ball down the line
79:54 - 80:00
there's the Afro mention Peter Wozniacki
79:57 - 80:02
always been her father has back had gone
80:00 - 80:03
back and forth as far as his coaching
80:02 - 80:05
duties particularly of late but he's
80:03 - 80:08
back in the driver's seat in regard to
80:05 - 80:09
they really have a marvelous
80:08 - 80:12
relationship in the past we've heard so
80:09 - 80:13
many difficult stories of fathers and
80:12 - 80:17
their daughters in professional tennis
80:13 - 80:29
circuit this is a good one works for
80:17 - 80:30
respect professional athletes so he can
80:29 - 80:33
empathize with certain situations with
80:30 - 80:37
her as well he's got very tactical mind
80:33 - 80:39
yes not only is it hard to step away as
80:37 - 80:40
your father but it's hard to step away
80:39 - 80:42
when you've been a professional athlete
80:40 - 80:44
you know the mindset you know the game
80:42 - 80:45
you feel like you can help your daughter
80:44 - 80:47
but they do seem to have a really good
80:45 - 80:51
relationship and tends to work really
80:47 - 80:51
well for the both of them
81:22 - 81:28
you can understand why they're excited
81:24 - 81:29
what an entertaining point great point
81:28 - 81:31
you hear from both players what a great
81:29 - 81:33
stab their paralegal over the net but
81:31 - 81:36
good job Murray I'm moving up but just
81:33 - 81:38
created less time for herself by going
81:36 - 81:40
for a little bit more on that shot
81:38 - 81:42
good guessing by Wozniacki good
81:40 - 81:42
anticipation
82:10 - 82:16
there's a little thing they like to call
82:12 - 82:18
in sports hand-eye coordination that was
82:16 - 82:21
just an incredible pickup Ming Grozny I
82:18 - 82:24
can hit such a good deep ball and Sharaf
82:21 - 82:26
over just flicking it down a line just
82:24 - 82:28
such good hands on that ball rolling
82:26 - 82:30
over the top to get some topspin which
82:28 - 82:31
is in the hallmark of Maria's
82:30 - 82:33
groundstrokes but just had to get
82:31 - 82:37
through there quickly and finds away
82:33 - 82:39
another winner 18 in the set a return to
82:52 - 82:59
yeah the previous point just informed
82:56 - 83:00
her Maria says okay I can pick that up
82:59 - 83:02
and blast a winner you know what I'm
83:00 - 83:05
gonna pick a spot right over there to
83:02 - 83:08
the backhand and fire away
83:08 - 83:14
good to turn on your throne strokes it's
83:10 - 83:18
tough to tell where she's going had to
83:14 - 83:18
guess on that one set point for Maria
83:21 - 83:30
fighting it off redirecting the backhand
83:25 - 83:34
no fuss no muss from Wozniacki I can do
83:30 - 83:36
that too that's why this match was so
83:34 - 83:39
anticipated the level of play from both
83:36 - 83:43
coming into this round of 16 match very
83:39 - 83:57
high yeah he up to the task
83:43 - 83:59
saves setpoint it really doesn't want us
83:57 - 84:01
gone to serve here that Cara puts you in
83:59 - 84:03
a tough spot not only because it would
84:01 - 84:04
go to a third set straight away but she
84:03 - 84:08
doesn't want to give Sharapova the
84:04 - 84:12
chance to serve first no matter what the
84:08 - 84:13
score is you know I always want to fight
84:12 - 84:15
until the end put some more a little bit
84:13 - 84:18
more pressure on your opponent going
84:15 - 84:18
into a third set
84:51 - 84:55
second game of the set lasted just a
84:53 - 84:59
couple seconds shy of nine minutes so
84:55 - 85:01
we've had some long encounters one on
84:59 - 85:05
Sharapova's sir which he managed to get
85:01 - 85:07
the hold for to love extended that lead
85:05 - 85:10
to four love in the set and that was new
85:07 - 85:12
Yankee fighting for presence in second
85:10 - 85:12
or two or so
85:34 - 85:39
terrific scramble by Wozniacki about
85:37 - 85:40
four strokes prior to just put the ball
85:39 - 85:42
back in play
85:40 - 85:44
lob allowed her to get to neutral ground
85:42 - 85:48
and from that point on they just
85:44 - 85:49
exchanged until Moya blinked good
85:48 - 85:50
variety from Ozaki - she could have
85:49 - 85:52
definitely stepped up and hit that
85:50 - 86:04
backhand but chose to slice it a little
85:52 - 86:05
bit different look different spin must
86:04 - 86:07
be intriguing it looked as if the ball
86:05 - 86:09
almost picked up a little extra velocity
86:07 - 86:11
in that and that would mean it skidded
86:09 - 86:15
off the paint but Rose Miyake says no it
86:11 - 86:17
didn't she'd be right it was long and
86:15 - 86:20
Caroline's on the board for a second
86:17 - 86:23
time it'll be up to Maria Sharapova try
86:20 - 86:25
to hold serve and force it aside her
86:23 - 86:30
spot in the quarterfinals at stake
86:25 - 86:32
between two former number ones walking
86:30 - 86:33
around the grounds here at the USTA
86:32 - 86:35
Billie Jean King National Tennis Center
86:33 - 86:38
a little straw poll amongst the people
86:35 - 86:41
with some journalists and fans some of
86:38 - 86:43
the ushers some of the commentators what
86:41 - 86:44
do you think of the match with Sharapova
86:43 - 86:49
Wozniacki how do you think it's gonna
86:44 - 86:53
play out the dominant answer that
86:49 - 86:54
thing's going three sets they're all
86:53 - 86:57
starting to look pretty smart right
86:54 - 87:00
about now including on Twitter everybody
86:57 - 87:01
thinking this was destined for three
87:00 - 87:04
well Maria Sharapova can make that
87:01 - 87:04
happen it's a simple prospect really
87:04 - 87:10
if you hold serve for the 21st time this
87:08 - 87:12
year you'll be playing in a three-set
87:13 - 87:18
that's exactly what she hopes to do
87:15 - 87:20
serving from the south end trying to
87:18 - 87:22
make it once set all inside Arthur Ashe
87:54 - 88:01
great 4.5 Wozniacki definitely Sharapova
87:59 - 88:03
feeling pretty good in this position but
88:01 - 88:04
owes me a key good job wants to stay
88:03 - 88:06
aggressive even if it even if she loses
88:04 - 88:10
the second set so she can go into the
88:06 - 88:10
third set feeling a little bit stronger
88:49 - 88:54
another great pick up some Sheriff over
88:52 - 88:56
there she just had such a good job on
88:54 - 89:00
those defaults it's really accelerating
88:56 - 89:04
her racket head she finds that extra
89:00 - 89:04
spin to bring it down into the court
89:36 - 89:42
sometimes it can be dizzy I mean our
89:40 - 89:43
vantage point is a little bit higher to
89:42 - 89:46
say the least than that of the camera
89:43 - 89:48
but the angle and the depth of how Maria
89:46 - 89:51
Sharapova was able to curve that ball
89:48 - 89:53
into the back corner remarkable and she
89:51 - 89:56
was able to do so with not our standard
89:53 - 90:05
swing she stays with the ball so well
89:56 - 90:08
doesn't look ahead at all a little bit
90:05 - 90:10
on that line up a 9 forehand that sails
90:08 - 90:12
long it's just confounding sometimes to
90:10 - 90:14
figure how she's able to do some of the
90:12 - 90:16
things she does with a racquet and then
90:14 - 90:18
yep just a simple forehand she's hit
90:16 - 90:22
close to five hundred sixty-three
90:18 - 90:23
thousand times look someone's playing
90:22 - 90:26
like that it's hard to get a little bit
90:23 - 90:29
of a rhythm winners errors it's hard to
90:26 - 90:29
find your rhythm a little bit
90:52 - 90:56
not a bad play here from Caroline's
90:54 - 90:59
really putting the pressure on good
90:56 - 91:03
aggressive play Sharapova again just the
90:59 - 91:08
racket head acceleration just flicks it
91:03 - 91:08
cross-court has herself set point
91:28 - 91:31
not quite there yet
91:38 - 91:42
Sharapova trying to finish this off to
91:40 - 91:45
get to the third set remarkably in their
91:42 - 91:48
first seven meetings only one of those
91:45 - 91:52
seven contests went the full complement
91:48 - 91:53
of sets between these two that was two
91:52 - 91:54
years ago in Miami in the semi finals
91:54 - 92:02
coming back from a 6-4 dropped opening
91:58 - 92:02
set to go through to the final
92:21 - 92:26
the crowd loves it they want this set to
92:24 - 92:28
continue and they're dazzled by the
92:26 - 92:30
brilliance of Caroline Wozniacki when
92:28 - 92:32
she gets in position he can strike this
92:30 - 92:33
backhand it's a thing of beauty it is
92:32 - 92:35
that is definitely one of her strengths
92:33 - 92:37
that backhand down the line but she put
92:35 - 92:38
herself in a great position that I can't
92:38 - 92:44
just really quick job of staying low on
92:41 - 92:44
that last backhand on line
93:06 - 93:11
well you can't say Caroline hasn't had
93:08 - 93:13
her looks definitely not a bad mix from
93:11 - 93:15
Caroline she's been more aggressive in
93:13 - 93:16
these last few games she struggled a
93:15 - 93:18
little bit in the beginning of the
93:16 - 93:21
second set got a little bit more
93:18 - 93:25
tentative but she's gonna lose this set
93:21 - 93:25
she wants to lose it being aggressive
93:58 - 94:05
what a smart shot by Sharapova she's
94:03 - 94:09
getting such good depth on her balls
94:05 - 94:10
here really makes smart choice to try
94:09 - 94:13
and hit that short boys now he's so far
94:10 - 94:17
behind the baseline can't close it in a
94:13 - 94:18
second set point for Maria missed out on
94:17 - 94:23
the first chance
94:18 - 94:23
see how she fares to get to a decider
94:45 - 94:51
she's got it predictable as Sharapova
94:48 - 94:54
can be of late particularly for the 22nd
94:51 - 94:55
time and 51 matches this year she'll go
94:54 - 95:01
to a third set she likes her chances
94:55 - 95:03
she's won 17 of the previous 20 so for
95:01 - 95:05
just the second time in now their eighth
95:03 - 95:08
meeting a third set will decide who
95:05 - 95:11
advances to the quarterfinals Sara
95:08 - 95:13
Errani waits amongst the last eight and
95:11 - 95:15
Caroline Wozniacki from the North End
95:13 - 95:17
will serve first inside Arthur Ashe
95:40 - 95:45
Sharapova coming out like we'd expect
95:41 - 95:50
her to really getting all over and
95:45 - 95:50
everything but when I inset second serve
95:58 - 96:01
as we're Eng Chacon crow a show
96:00 - 96:06
mentioned her in the chair umpire
96:01 - 96:09
position as quickly become one of the
96:06 - 96:13
more respected chair umpires on the WTO
96:09 - 96:15
as well as at major events and again
96:13 - 96:16
we're not entirely sure Sharapova was
96:15 - 96:18
given a warning for time but there
96:16 - 96:23
certainly was a discussion that seemed
96:18 - 96:28
to agitate Maria as we know right back
96:23 - 96:28
to business as is her modus operandi
96:49 - 96:56
both players losing just one cent in
96:52 - 96:57
route to the fourth round losing an
96:56 - 97:02
additional here to force this deciding
96:57 - 97:05
set yeah he lost the second set against
97:02 - 97:07
magdaléna rybáriková before leading to
97:05 - 97:15
love in the third the Slovakian retired
97:07 - 97:18
in that match in the second round
97:15 - 97:20
against Alexandra doe guru of Romania
97:18 - 97:23
Maria lost the opening cents it's four
97:20 - 97:24
identical to her start here in the
97:23 - 97:28
fourth round before coming back and
97:24 - 97:32
winning that in three again this is very
97:28 - 97:35
familiar territory for Maria her 21st
97:32 - 97:52
three-set match of 2014 with a 17 and 3
97:35 - 97:56
record good extension from Wozniacki
97:52 - 97:58
puts sharapov on the run great job by
97:56 - 98:00
count line here that's backhand slice
97:58 - 98:04
setting up that backhand down the line
98:00 - 98:08
for her again one of her strengths just
98:04 - 98:08
using it really well in that point
98:11 - 98:19
this is key for Caroline you could
98:17 - 98:22
almost take paramount needed to hold to
98:19 - 98:25
begin the set not only to give herself
98:22 - 98:28
the advantage also put that pressure on
98:25 - 98:29
Sharapova forcing her to hold to play
98:28 - 98:31
catch-up but before we think more about
98:29 - 98:34
scent number three let's look back for a
98:31 - 98:36
moment at set number two and both first
98:34 - 98:39
our percentage very evenly almost evenly
98:36 - 98:41
matched from both players again 22
98:39 - 98:43
winners from Sharapova over Wozniacki
98:41 - 98:45
nine a winner that was the big
98:43 - 98:48
difference and that number two unforced
98:45 - 98:54
errors not so much of a factor but those
98:48 - 98:57
winners are retreated just a little bit
98:54 - 99:00
too loud Sharapova to step up and hit a
98:57 - 99:03
lot more winners in that second set is
99:00 - 99:05
there something about Maria that it has
99:03 - 99:06
become so contagious that she plays so
99:05 - 99:08
many three-set matches is it a slow
99:06 - 99:10
start is I mean this is eight of her
99:08 - 99:12
last eleven matches she's had to go to
99:10 - 99:14
three sets well I think a lot of our
99:12 - 99:16
opponents come out and they know they
99:14 - 99:19
need to come out to a strong start and
99:16 - 99:21
so I think that the opponents play
99:19 - 99:22
really well from the beginning but they
99:22 - 99:25
Sharapova is so good at keeping that
99:23 - 99:29
pressure on and I think they just sort
99:25 - 99:29
of allow her to come back into the match
100:02 - 100:10
well then third sets gonna be fun but I
100:06 - 100:12
say I think Sharapova crates that
100:10 - 100:14
pressure and I do thanks to Wozniacki
100:12 - 100:16
retrieving a little bit but Sharapova
100:14 - 100:18
did adjust her game she was a lot of
100:16 - 100:20
unforced errors and she didn't bring her
100:18 - 100:21
targets in a little bit she found her
100:20 - 100:23
range so I think that is a difference as
100:21 - 100:26
well it's not only that was accurate
100:23 - 100:29
treated but Sharapova did upper-level
100:26 - 100:30
Popa trying to improve to 18 and 3 in
100:29 - 100:33
three-set match this year and I think
100:30 - 100:35
that really illustrates one point that I
100:33 - 101:05
think sometimes gets missed when talking
100:35 - 101:12
about Maria Sharapova and that point
101:05 - 101:14
also will further support this well at
101:12 - 101:16
Maria's case with all her off course off
101:14 - 101:18
court exploits in the glamour that's
101:16 - 101:20
associated with and she is the glamour
101:18 - 101:22
girl of women's professional tennis but
101:20 - 101:25
you have to wonder is there anybody who
101:22 - 101:26
is a and exceptions of course for Serena
101:25 - 101:28
Williams world number one but doesn't
101:26 - 101:31
take a single point off not a single
101:28 - 101:34
game not a single match she shows up
101:31 - 101:35
each and every time and he get not to
101:34 - 101:37
take any way from Serena who's a
101:35 - 101:39
tremendous fighter in a fantastic
101:37 - 101:41
athlete and quite frankly the best
101:39 - 101:44
tennis player in the world particularly
101:41 - 101:46
on the women's side is that sometimes
101:44 - 101:48
Serena wavers her attention span seems
101:46 - 101:50
to just lose focus she can kind of drift
101:48 - 101:53
through matches you never see that with
101:59 - 102:03
you're absolutely right Kevin you do see
102:01 - 102:05
that way right not only from Serena
102:03 - 102:07
sometimes but from the majority of
102:05 - 102:10
players there are games here and there
102:07 - 102:13
where you can see players lose focus a
102:10 - 102:14
little bit but Maria takes her time she
102:13 - 102:17
walks back to that backdrop before every
102:14 - 102:18
point she regains her focus she's there
102:17 - 102:20
for every point and that's what makes
102:18 - 102:22
her so dangerous and that's not to take
102:20 - 102:24
anything away from any other player
102:22 - 102:26
that's natural I mean you're on tour for
102:24 - 102:28
weeks on end the other players talk
102:26 - 102:31
about it how much focus she is and she's
102:28 - 102:33
one of the best competitors out there
102:31 - 102:35
struggling through hot humid conditions
102:33 - 102:42
you could just have a black moment for a
102:35 - 102:44
week I mean when she gets down or so
102:42 - 102:46
yeah we she never really gets down there
102:44 - 102:47
so I should take that back because even
102:46 - 102:48
when she's having difficulty like she
102:47 - 102:49
did in the opening set with all the
102:48 - 102:51
unforced rolls
102:49 - 102:54
[Applause]
102:51 - 102:56
a measure of the court not producing as
102:54 - 102:58
she'd like she just gets back to her
102:56 - 103:00
routine back to the court focus her
102:58 - 103:03
attention right back at it
103:00 - 103:07
it's admirable Wozniacki she's not
103:03 - 103:07
intimidated in the slightest
103:11 - 103:15
Batman we've talked about all match long
103:13 - 103:17
for Caroline she's able to produce once
103:15 - 103:18
more from that side it took her a while
103:17 - 103:20
to dial it in
103:18 - 103:23
now she's hit five winners and this
103:20 - 103:25
one's a beauty I just really steps up
103:23 - 103:26
and goes for that shot she feels very
103:25 - 103:30
comfortable off that backhand side
103:26 - 103:30
especially down the line
103:57 - 104:04
and Sharapova now she lets out a stream
104:01 - 104:08
because she knows it wasn't easy but
104:04 - 104:10
she's at even terms really trying to
104:08 - 104:13
pump herself self up there she can feel
104:10 - 104:15
that was acting a little bit stronger so
104:13 - 104:17
that says who do you thinks the best
104:15 - 104:19
fighter in the women's game let's hear
104:17 - 104:22
from you join the discussion go to our
104:19 - 104:22
Twitter account
104:24 - 104:29

you thinks the best fighter in women's
104:29 - 104:34
tennis currently amongst active players
104:31 - 104:36
Sharapova has to be one of the choices
104:34 - 104:39
you have but Caroline Wozniacki could
104:36 - 104:41
also be in your thought process
104:39 - 104:42
obviously Serena Williams
104:41 - 104:51
you're welcome Miriam but don't forget
104:42 - 104:54
to tell us where you're at and the fact
104:51 - 104:55
that you can hear Sharapova not the
104:54 - 104:57
grunts during points but after the
104:55 - 104:58
come-ons and stuff lets you know how
104:57 - 105:00
seriously she's taking this and how
104:58 - 105:02
seriously she's taking the threat from
105:00 - 105:04
Wozniacki exactly I mean she knows what
105:02 - 105:06
was new Yaqui is such a great fighter as
105:04 - 105:09
well and it's gonna be a competitive
105:06 - 105:12
third set she's really trying to pump
105:09 - 105:12
herself up for everything
105:14 - 105:18
I think the Twittersphere is gonna light
105:16 - 105:21
up yeah give you the best fighter that
105:18 - 105:21
means 10 this is
105:25 - 105:43
[Applause]
106:00 - 106:07
good job boys iake right now stay
106:03 - 106:08
focused on you for your opponent scream
106:07 - 106:12
out a little bit getting all fired up
106:08 - 106:13
it's easy get distracted but was Nikki
106:12 - 106:16
doing a good job right now staying
106:13 - 106:16
focused within herself
106:33 - 106:44
[Applause]
106:44 - 106:47
it's never really been in question the
106:46 - 106:50
mental fortitude of Caroline Wozniacki
106:47 - 106:52
you can't be a two-time here and number
106:50 - 106:55
one and not be strong and tough even
106:52 - 106:57
under pressure she knows what's at stake
106:55 - 107:21
in this match and this third set
106:57 - 107:23
particular not just the pregame slide
107:21 - 107:25
she suffered a Sharapova of late but
107:23 - 107:27
also the fact there's a major
107:25 - 107:31
quarterfinal at stake the site of the
107:27 - 107:31
only final she's reached in her career
107:33 - 107:41
goodness Jill Craybas we open up
107:37 - 107:44
Pandora's box of Twitter responses so
107:41 - 107:46
far it seems that Serena and Maria are
107:44 - 107:49
in most people's opinion best fighters
107:46 - 107:52
[Applause]
107:49 - 107:55
couple responses Paul WTA tennis fin
107:52 - 107:56
says biggest fighter annoyingly Maria
107:55 - 107:59
even this time she comes back from her
107:56 - 108:03
break down to win so begrudgingly Paul
107:59 - 108:04
is giving Maria the edge from South
108:03 - 108:08
Africa Luke says Serena Williams and
108:04 - 108:12
there is no match well okay just asking
108:08 - 108:14
Mozambique Claudio saying irani Sara
108:12 - 108:17
Errani is a true fact
108:14 - 108:19

108:17 - 108:24
[Applause]
108:19 - 108:27
popa 7 1 2 in this decisive set
108:24 - 108:29
brain-dead that's the name that popped
108:27 - 108:30
up it's not the Twitter account but
108:29 - 108:33
that's the name they're using says I
108:30 - 108:41
think Serena is is being a fighter she's
108:33 - 108:44
more tougher but attitude wise Maria I
108:41 - 108:44
think they're all great
108:57 - 109:05
[Applause]
109:12 - 109:19
[Applause]
109:21 - 109:27
yes underscoring XTO says know about
109:24 - 109:31
Sharapova Ben Serena then Caroline also
109:27 - 109:34
mentioning Angelique Kerber Korea from
109:31 - 109:36
Durban South Africa says Maria is the
109:34 - 109:39
best fighter ever exclamation point no
109:36 - 109:41
doubt so their passion as well as
109:39 - 109:43
opinionated Marie has definitely proved
109:41 - 109:47
herself this year with all the three-set
109:43 - 110:00
matches that she's won that question D
109:47 - 110:02
says Victoria Azarenka is my choice to
110:00 - 110:04
be able to focus here on the important
110:02 - 110:09
points and right now Caroline Wozniacki
110:04 - 110:11
she is the more focused of the two great
110:09 - 110:13
aggressive game right now
110:11 - 110:16
she saw that ball and shortened just ran
110:13 - 110:16
right through it
110:17 - 110:20
breakpoints
110:31 - 110:34
[Applause]
110:45 - 110:51
[Applause]
111:04 - 111:11
and Caroline says get up out of your
111:07 - 111:11
seats he's with me
111:21 - 111:27
and that's what she does so well we are
111:24 - 111:29
seeing opponents of China got one extra
111:27 - 111:31
last one and that's the pressure that I
111:29 - 111:34
got Sharapova right now and she's
111:31 - 111:37
rewarded for her effort not just the
111:34 - 111:43
point but the game and now out in front
111:37 - 111:46
the 3-1 lead great stuff as only a crowd
111:43 - 111:48
like this in New York joy they are loud
111:46 - 111:49
they're boisterous they're not afraid to
111:48 - 111:51
show their emotion
111:49 - 111:56
neither is Caroline Wozniacki she loved
111:51 - 111:56
it serving to consolidate the break
111:58 - 112:02
[Applause]
112:03 - 112:09
enthusiasm in Melbourne Paris but you
112:08 - 112:11
know how New Yorkers they don't hold
112:09 - 112:14
back their opinions forget about it
112:11 - 112:17
it was terrific stuff that was all about
112:14 - 112:20
the quality of that point they're
112:17 - 112:22
definitely Maria fans and Rose Miyake
112:28 - 112:32
a note coming from and I think we have
112:30 - 112:35
to put it in perspective once again at
112:32 - 112:36
noon yeah yogi 1 2 3 4 it says your
112:35 - 112:39
praise of Maria's being the best
112:36 - 112:42
competitors suspect ever seen her play
112:39 - 112:43
Serena Serena breaks her at will well I
112:42 - 112:45
mean you have a point
112:43 - 112:48
considering the 16 Tootie lifetime edge
112:45 - 112:49
that Serina holds over Maria but that's
112:48 - 112:51
not the point we were trying to make not
112:49 - 112:53
the best competitor the best fighter the
112:51 - 113:01
one who stays in each and every point
112:53 - 113:04
always championships match last year
113:01 - 113:06
Serena versus lean on the point it was a
113:04 - 113:08
moment Serina granted she was probably
113:06 - 113:10
tired had been a long season one of the
113:08 - 113:15
great years but just a couple points
113:10 - 113:17
seem to go away some players struggle
113:15 - 113:19
with other players and no matter like
113:17 - 113:30
this style of game sometimes don't match
113:19 - 113:34
up quite well and Serena's game hasn't
113:30 - 113:37
beat her since 2004 but she beats wing
113:34 - 113:38
effects yeah I mean there's a level
113:37 - 113:40
respect there but when she'd come down
113:38 - 113:42
play Serena she's still gonna fight for
113:40 - 113:44
every point and I think that's what
113:42 - 113:46
we're talking about so thanks for your
113:57 - 114:00
is a waiting way in the front of a road
113:59 - 114:02
city it's going to take a heck of an
114:00 - 114:06
effort for Maria to come back here needs
114:02 - 114:10
to find a way to disrupt the flow with
114:06 - 114:14
Caroline Wozniacki is put forth a chaise
114:10 - 114:14
review we'll see if that can be started
114:16 - 114:22
don't see that small stage as it was
114:20 - 114:24
called out Sharapova will lose a
114:22 - 114:24
challenge in the set
114:48 - 114:56
yes they will put a cap on it for the
114:54 - 114:58
moment say that Michael Brill says craps
114:56 - 114:59
maybe says its best
114:58 - 115:02
Serena's the best at raising the level
114:59 - 115:06
unneeded Sharapova's level is more
115:02 - 115:09
consistent in each match thanks for your
115:06 - 115:13
input at us opposite of 2014 here's was
115:09 - 115:15
the actions bid for four run she's got
115:18 - 115:22
get out wide serve stretches Maria
115:21 - 115:24
that's her off important just open the
115:22 - 115:26
back holes passport winner just as she
115:24 - 115:29
wanted her 21st winner now gives her
115:26 - 115:33
that chance for four of the first five
115:29 - 115:33
games of this third set
115:51 - 115:58
quite done with it yes
115:53 - 116:00
[Applause]
116:00 - 116:07
[Applause]
116:28 - 116:33
such a good job of resetting herself
116:30 - 116:33
getting ready for the next point
116:34 - 116:39
kudos to Wozniacki - for just allowing
116:37 - 116:45
herself to not be distracted by anything
116:39 - 116:45
plays her game she looks to benefit
116:46 - 116:50
second trying for one
117:11 - 117:15
two days away from the quarterfinals
117:15 - 117:23
by the end a 3-game slide - Sharapova
117:24 - 117:31
three straight games for Caroline
117:26 - 117:34
Wozniacki she tries to stem the tide of
117:31 - 117:37
three consecutive matches she has lost
117:34 - 117:39
to Maria Sharapova the best result at a
117:37 - 117:41
major scene right here on this very
117:39 - 117:43
court back in 2009 she lost to Kim
117:41 - 117:45
Cloisters the only time she's reached a
117:43 - 117:47
finals since then plagued constantly by
117:45 - 117:49
will you ever get back to a final your
117:47 - 117:54
former number one when you ever win a
117:49 - 117:56
major maybe 2014 US Open would it be a
117:54 - 117:58
year and she says I'm gonna make a deep
117:56 - 118:02
push and she's doing well against the
117:58 - 118:04
five seed in 2006 champion here Maria
118:09 - 118:19
Sharapova serving one for set number
118:12 - 118:23
three just a third ace of the day
118:19 - 118:23
another comeback
118:47 - 118:54
the game really well good to first
118:49 - 118:57
serves gonna have to start well I'm back
118:54 - 118:57
in this third set
119:17 - 119:25
1:08 gun one hundred and seventy three
119:22 - 119:28
point eight km/h to pick up her second a
119:39 - 119:44
no time to cut the lead in half that was
119:42 - 119:46
right around a minute or so she's able
119:44 - 119:49
to blast two aces and hold it love
119:46 - 119:52
arguably easiest service game of the
119:49 - 120:02
match though she did hold it love I can
119:52 - 120:04
game number two of this cell now it
120:02 - 120:07
comes down to can Caroline Wozniacki
120:04 - 120:09
close is this the time when she can step
120:07 - 120:12
up a couple hole to serve she's into the
120:09 - 120:12
Elite Eight
120:23 - 120:32
[Applause]
120:39 - 120:42
[Applause]
120:56 - 121:01
the other aspect that might be
120:59 - 121:04
intriguing is that mother nature might
121:01 - 121:06
be intervening on this Sunday we've had
121:04 - 121:09
spectacular weather for the first six
121:06 - 121:10
days but there are some heavy winds
121:09 - 121:13
coming in it with it it's bringing
121:10 - 121:16
weather out of the West some lightning
121:13 - 121:20

parade right here looking to fight back
121:35 - 121:51

121:51 - 121:56
they can feel it some temperature drops
121:54 - 121:56

122:31 - 122:36

Sharapova giving yourself a
122:44 - 122:51
along with accomplishing the stated goal
122:47 - 122:51
of reaching the quarterfinals
123:12 - 123:18
[Applause]
123:21 - 123:29
the last teenager to win the US Open was
123:25 - 123:32
that woman 2006 at the age of 19 Maria
123:29 - 123:35
Sharapova champion in New York won over
123:32 - 123:37
five major titles last year did not
123:35 - 123:39
travel here to the Big Apple to compete
123:37 - 123:41
in the US Open in fact missed most of
123:39 - 123:46
the last half of last year with the
123:41 - 123:50
right shoulder injury she's never out
123:46 - 123:52
until they say the match is over from
123:50 - 123:55
Maria Sharapova she serves to stay in
123:52 - 123:58
set number three and the tournament
123:55 - 124:01
Caroline Wozniacki faces Sara Errani in
123:58 - 124:01
the quarterfinals
124:11 - 124:15
Sharapova saw her
124:13 - 124:17
hold up her hand with the ball you
124:15 - 124:22
should serve you balls the balls will go
124:17 - 124:25
through the air a little bit faster tend
124:22 - 124:25
to fly a little bit more
124:25 - 124:31
oops dryer you put a little bit more
124:27 - 124:31
spin on the ball when you have new balls
124:49 - 124:54
[Applause]
125:16 - 125:19
[Applause]
125:22 - 125:26
and that's worked well for was an
125:24 - 125:29
athlete so far that's match the inside
125:26 - 125:31
out back into the formula Sharapova
125:29 - 125:33
really stretching her wide on that side
125:31 - 125:35
fighting for errors off the shelf Hill
125:33 - 125:41
Sharapova forehand
125:35 - 125:41
[Applause]
125:54 - 126:00
one of the big victories for Caroline
125:57 - 126:02
Wozniacki against Maria Sharapova she's
126:00 - 126:04
only had to was four years ago she's
126:02 - 126:07
trying to dial it back up in this very
126:04 - 126:10
round she defeated Sharapova in straight
126:07 - 126:12
sets it hasn't been that easy today but
126:10 - 126:19
she does hold that point
126:12 - 126:19
[Applause]
126:45 - 126:50
while she did it as she wanted to do she
126:47 - 126:51
finishes the match with a winner to
126:50 - 126:54
become the winner
126:51 - 126:55
it wasn't a defensive spectacle for
126:54 - 126:58
Caroline Wozniacki
126:55 - 127:00
she came out ready to play and to take
126:58 - 127:04
down Maria Sharapova who has been
127:00 - 127:05
silenced in New York as the Great Dane
127:04 - 127:09
moved through to the last date with a
127:05 - 127:12
6-4 2-6 6-2 victory
127:12 - 127:16
well joke Ramos and pretty spectacular
127:14 - 127:19
machen lived up to much of it a little
127:16 - 127:21
bit downside for Maria Sharapova is she
127:19 - 127:23
couldn't keep her level of play as she
127:21 - 127:25
and hopefully said that that is really
127:23 - 127:26
up credit words to Caroline Wozniacki
127:26 - 127:31
and test it when it mattered most
127:27 - 127:31
particularly in the big points
127:34 - 127:40
[Applause]
127:37 - 127:42
you saw her play more similar in the
127:40 - 127:44
third set as she did in the first set
127:42 - 127:46
that more aggressive style play she
127:44 - 127:48
wasn't scared to move forward we saw her
127:46 - 127:49
retreat a little bit in the second set
127:48 - 127:51
and Sharapova lifts her level and that
127:49 - 127:54
made the difference in that set but in
127:51 - 127:56
the end credit to Wozniacki for getting
127:54 - 127:57
over that second day lifting her level
127:56 - 127:59
and playing more aggressive and she
127:57 - 128:00
deserved to win in the end
127:59 - 128:09
absolutely and now she's into the
128:00 - 128:10
quarterfinals yeah that's amazing you
128:09 - 128:12

128:10 - 128:14

two sets from both of us maybe wearing
128:45 - 128:48
