  3. 2-5 - BREAK! Wozniacki saves the first with an ace - her seventh - and then an incorrect line call at 15-40 sees a point replayed. Wozniacki hits wide, though, and Dokic is one game short of eliminating the 11th seed!

Some good serve-volley is followed by another double-fault, but another forehand into the corner gives her a 40-15 lead.
