NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Caroline Wozniacki entered the Connecticut Open as a wild card, hoping a tournament she has won four times would help her tune up for the U.S. Open.Instead, the former top-ranked player from Denmark saw her struggles continue in a 7-5, 6-2 first-round loss to Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia on Monday.Its been a really weird year for me, something Im not used to, said Wozniacki, who has dealt with injuries all year.Its frustrating when you practice well and cant really execute in the matches. ... At least when I know when Im playing my best level, if someone beats me, thats fine. But whats frustrating is when youre not playing your best and then you get beat.Wozniacki, now ranked 51st, was coming off a second-round loss to Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic at the Olympics.Kvitova advanced Monday night with a 1-6, 6-1, 6-3 win over American Louisa Chirico. She will next face Eugenie Bouchard, a 6-2, 6-1 winner over Annika Beck of Germany.No. 20 Elena Vesnina also advanced with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Camila Giorgi of Italy.Top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska was to have met Wozniacki in the second round. Instead, Radwanska, ranked No. 5, will face Ostapenko, 19, who reached the final at Doha in February and won the Wimbledon junior girls tournament in 2014.Against Wozniacki, Ostapenko staved off a set point in the first set, won four straight games to close out the set and never looked back.After that, the match turned the other way, Ostapenko said of her service breaks. Shes a great player ... so I just played like I had nothing to lose.Wozniackis early exit leaves the tournament with four players in the WTAs Top 20 -- Radwanska of Poland, Vesnina of Russia, Kvitova of the Czech Republic and second-seeded Roberta Vinci of Italy.In other matches Monday, Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia, Caroline Garcia of France, Evgeniya Rodina of Russia, Annet Kontaveit of Estonia and Ana Konjuh of Croatia all advanced to the second round.Nacer Chadli Belgium Jersey . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler.

Vincent Kompany Belgium Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. Youri Tielemans Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.Australians 474 (OKeefe 78, Burns 72, Smith 57, Jayasuriya 5-110) beat Sri Lankan XI 229 (Gunaratne 58, Siriwardana 53, OKeefe 5-43) and 83 (OKeefe 5-21) by an innings and 162 runs Scorecard Australias spinners will move into the Test series well-heeled and confident, after setting in motion a dramatic collapse that yielded seven wickets for 33 runs on the third and final day of their tour fixture, at the P Sara Oval. On a surface that had begun to take fast turn, Steve OKeefe collected his second five-wicket haul of the match, in only 6.5 overs. At the other end, Nathan Lyon tuned up with 2 for 14 from five overs; Sri Lankan XI were dismissed for 83 as Australians completed an innings-and-162-run victory.Well definitely take a lot of confidence out of the victory, Lyon said after the match. Steve Smith came in today and said: Lets really make a statement. Taking nine wickets in a session to close out a first-class win is a pretty big statement.Having become Australias highest scorer as well, in a morning session in which he shared a 58-run stand for the tenth wicket with Jackson Bird, OKeefe was especially effective against the right-handers in the Sri Lankan side. He pitched on middle and leg, then spun the ball past the defence of Asela Gunaratne to rattle off stump and claim his first wicket. Later in that over, Shehan Jayasuriya was out sweeping to Bird at deep square leg.Dasun Shanaka was caught behind off OKeefe and the tailenders fell lbw or bowled to his straighter, quicker deliveries. In addition to the 78 not out with the bat, OKeefe collected match figures of 10 for 64,, raising Australias likelihood of fielding a dual-spin attack for the first Test.ddddddddddddLyon was more subdued in the match, and had actually been expensive on the first day, when he was reported to have fallen ill. Despite his figures, he said he was bowling well, and felt well-prepared for his second Test tour of Sri Lanka, which he begins now as a senior player.Im the only one to have played Test-match cricket over here out of the bowlers, Lyon said. It was good for all our bowlers to get out here and adapt to conditions. A lot of us are coming off white-ball cricket. Its good to spend some time out there and get some long overs under our belt. Ive felt Ive grown a lot on and off the field since that 2011 tour to Sri Lanka. Im looking forward to the challenge.The Sri Lankan XI will be disappointed at the abject collapse, and Milinda Siriwardana will perhaps reflect most on the missed opportunity. He was caught for 2 off Lyon, but will have wanted at least a half-century to firm up a place in the Sri Lanka Test squad. Shanaka has not made a strong case for inclusion either, collecting middling returns with both bat and ball.Before the slow bowlers closed out the match, Mitchell Starc had taken two early wickets with full deliveries. He bowled wicketkeeper-batsman Manoj Sarathchandra, and had Oshada Fernando caught at slip.Madawa Warnapura did not bat for the Sri Lankan XI, having sustained an injury to his hand while fielding on the previous day.
