Wozniacki cruises through in Charleston

---

CHARLESTON, South Carolina, Apr 7 (AFP): World number one Caroline Wozniacki cruised into the third round of the Charleston WTA Wednesday, as she fought to banish memories of last year's injury disappointment. "I'm feeling good on clay, so it's exciting. It's always exciting to start here," top-seed Wozniacki said after dispatching American qualifier Irina Falconi 6-1, 6-1. At last year's tournament Wozniacki was forced to retire during her semi-final match against Russia's Vera Zvonareva when she hurt her ankle sliding on the green clay court. "You think about it sometimes, a little bit sometimes, especially when you go after drop shots," she said. "But on the other hand, this is a tournament that I've always enjoyed playing and center court is so cozy." Wozniacki, winner of titles this year in Dubai and Indian Wells, encountered little resistance from the 128th-ranked Falconi, who had never before faced a number one player. The Dane took a 5-0 lead, and won the last six games to win the match. "She was playing good, but I felt like I could put that extra step into the ball," Wozniacki, 20, said. "I made the winners at the right chances."
