In the second match on Margaret Court Arena on Day 4, the Dane was simply too consistent and had an answer for everything Goerges produced, completing the 6-3 6-1 victory in one hour and five minutes.

“I’m happy to be through,” Wozniacki said. “I’ve known Julia for a long time already. I mean, I haven’t seen her play too much … but we’re good friends and it’s always tough to play a friend. But I’m pleased with the way I played today.”

Wozniacki was playing her second match in as many days after Monday’s rain-affected start to the tournament, and began strongly with a break in the fourth game.

Maintaining her break to lead 5-2, Wozniacki exhibited trademark steady play, employing plenty of topspin to bring her shots into the court and giving herself plenty of margin over the net.

Goerges, by contrast, was dangerous yet erratic; her power occasionally troubled the fourth seed, but she could not string together several winning points in a row.
 
The No. 76-ranked German looked capable of mounting a comeback when she held serve in the eighth game and had two break points in the following game.

The Dane became flustered when a couple of close line-calls went against her, but she needn’t have worried; Goerges committed three consecutive backhand errors to give her a set point, and Wozniacki subsequently snatched a one-set lead on her second set point.

The second set began nightmarishly for Goerges as the Wozniacki raced to a 4-0 lead with breaks in the first and third games. Continuing to execute deep, safe shots, Wozniacki simply waited for Goerges to spray an error. The German finished the match with 36 errors to Wozniacki’s 11.

Although Goerges held serve in the fifth game, Wozniacki responded with her own service hold and her third break of the set in the seventh game to secure the win.

In the third round, Wozniacki will play No. 29 seed Shahar Peer, a 6-1 6-4 winner over Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova. The Dane said Peer will present a tough challenge.

“She’s a good player. She’s getting a lot of balls back, and she’s a fighter, she never gives up. I know she has a lot of supporters out here so I just need to keep my focus and, yeah, try to be the one who’s dictating,” she said.

“I just hope that I get a day off tomorrow so I can relax a little bit and just have a short practice, and then I’ll be ready for my third round.”
