DOHA, Qatar (AP) Caroline Wozniacki won 12 straight games to beat Flavia Pennetta of Italy 6-2, 6-0 on Thursday, setting up a semifinal against Marion Bartoli at the Qatar Ladies Open.
The top-ranked Dane, who won the Dubai title last week, extended her winning streak to eight matches after losing the first two games of the match.
Wozniacki wore a Liverpool soccer shirt with Steven Gerrard's name on the back during the warmup on Thursday.
I'm a big fan of Liverpool,'' Wozniacki said.Since Liverpool is playing tonight (against Sparta Prague), I thought it would be nice and even the fans liked it.''
