MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Champion Kim Clijsters ended Caroline Wozniacki's Australian Open title hopes and her hold on the world's top ranking Tuesday when she beat the 21-year-old 6-3 7-6 to advance to a semi-final against Victoria Azarenka.
MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Caroline Wozniacki was dumped out of the quarter-finals of the Australian Open by Kim Clijsters on Tuesday and will lose her world number one position when new rankings are released next week.
The 21-year-old Dane had held the top spot since October 11, 2010, barring a week in February last year, when Clijsters briefly took it from her. Three women, Maria Sharapova, Petra Kvitova and Victoria Azarenka have a chance of finishing the tournament at number one.
