Wozniacki knocked out of Australian Open

Struggling Dane loses in straight sets to Victoria Azarenka

Caroline Wozniacki's bid to win her first Grand Slam tournament ended in the second round at the Australian Open today. She lost in straight sets to unseeded Victoria Azarenka, the former world number one and two-time grand slam winner.

The eighth-seeded Dane opened sluggishly and didn't have an answer to the Belarusian's aggressive play, eventually succumbing 4-6, 2-6 in just over an hour and a half.
