Wozniacki in bid for US title double

MIAMI, Mar 25 (AFP): World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, weekend winner of the Indian Wells WTA title, launched her bid for a second straight crown with a victory at the Miami WTA and ATP Masters tournament Thursday. Wozniacki reached the third round of the $9 million event with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over American Bethanie Mattek-Sands. "Especially in the first match you want to get going, you want to have the rallies," said the Dane, who like all the top seeds enjoyed a first-round bye. "But I really couldn't get that today, so I just had to fight. I thought I did that pretty well."
