AFP: Ex-champions Sam Stosur and Caroline Wozniacki cruised into the third round of the WTA Tour’s Family Circle Cup, while Venus Williams had to battle her way through.
The second-seeded Wozniacki breezed past Spaniard Silvia Soler-Espinosa 6-1, 6-1 in just under an hour, while the third-seeded Aussie Stosur routed New Zealand’s Marina Erakovic 6-1, 6-2 on the green clay at Daniel Island Tennis Center.
Wozniacki, who won here two years ago, only entered the tournament on the weekend, after she and golfer boyfriend Rory McIlroy postponed a trip to Haiti. Stosur won here in 2010, while Wozniacki claimed the title in 2011.
