Sydney wobble for Wozniacki

Top seed Caroline Wozniacki escaped a major scare to scrape into the quarter-finals of the Sydney International after a 7-5 2-6 6-4 win over Dominika Cibulkova.

The world number one was 4-0 down in the deciding set but fought back to win six games in a row and complete a battling victory in a match that lasted almost two-and-a-half hours.

Wozniacki had earlier edged a first set that contained several breaks of serve, but her game started to fall apart in the second and early stages of the third.

The unseeded Slovakian evened things up and seemed set for a shock win when she secured two early breaks of serve in the decider.

It was then Cibulkova's turn to run in to trouble, however, as a resurgent Wozniacki managed to eke out a victory and set-up a last eight clash with Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat Andrea Petkovic 7-5 6-4.

"I thought I had lost the match. I decided to play free, not care about the score anymore, and it worked out," Wozniacki said.

Second seed Petra Kvitova also dropped a set but eventually progressed to the quarter-finals with a 7-5 3-6 6-4 win over Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania.
