Wozniacki caught short after victory hipmold
World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki had to admit to an embarrassing loss on Wednesday, but it won't affect her chances of winning her first grand slam title at the Australian Open.
The Dane's post-match press conference was delayed because the 21-year-old misplaced her bag of clothes after a 6-1 7-6 (7-4) win over Georgia's Anna Tatishvili that put her into the third round in Melbourne.
'I left it on the practice court. I went to hit a few minutes after the match, and I left it there. I didn't have any more clothes. So I took a shower, and I'm looking for my bag and I couldn't find it,' said Wozniacki, who will play Romanian 31st seed Monica Niculescu in the last 32.

Wozniacki, who fired nine aces in an aggressive on-court display, then had to field questions about her golf star boyfriend Rory McIlroy, revealing that they try each other's sports and that she is learning from his mental approach.
'It's just about you can't really do anything about the past. You just need to look forward. You have a tournament now, and you want to do the best you can. That's it,' she said.
'Then if it goes well, it's great. If not, you have the next one. It's like tennis. So, you know, it's just important not to dwell too much in the past. '
