Toronto, August 12 

Caroline Wozniacki defeated world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova 7-5 6-7(3) 6-4 in a marathon Rogers Cup quarterfinal match in Toronto marred by four rain delays on Friday.

The delays, which all came during the first set, appeared to boost the sixth-seeded Dane, who was trailing 0-3 when the match was interrupted. After the breaks, she won five straight games and ultimately took the first set. 

“Almost every tournament I’ve played this year there has been a rain delay so at this point I just have to laugh because I feel like it is following me,” she said after the three-hour 26-minute match. 

The delays and Wozniacki’s solid all-around game appeared to throw off the big-serving Pliskova, who was playing in her first tournament since becoming No. 1. The win marks Wozniacki’s first career win against a world No. 1. — Reuters
