Wozniacki could have qualified for Singapore straight up by winning the Beijing title, but she will now only qualify this week if Angelique Kerber doesn't reach the quarters and Ekaterina Makarova doesn't reach the final - those two left-handers will contest their third round matches on Thursday.
Stosur had always given Wozniacki trouble in the past, winning three of their seven previous meetings, and more importantly two of their three previous meetings on hardcourts. And the Aussie had been showing flashes of the brilliance that once took her as high as No.4 in the world, taking out three Top 10 players already this year -
Dominika Cibulkova two times and Eugenie Bouchard once. And with some sharp serving Stosur gave the No.6-seeded Wozniacki trouble this time too, sneaking out a break in the seventh game and riding that to the first set and, after losing a one break lead in the second set, staving off five set points in the tie-break to close it out in straights, 6-4, 7-6(9). But back to the winner of the day - Stosur was thoroughly pleased with the result.
