Second seed Caroline Wozniacki bounced back from a horror start to her third-round match against Maria Kirilenko to book her place in the last 16 of the Sony Ericsson Open with a 1-6 6-1 6-4 win.
The Danish teenager, ranked second in the world, was reduced to firefighting in the first set as she managed to win just 22% of points on second serve. But she was much improved in the second set, holding her nerve to convert the two break points she created before out-battling her Russian opponent in the third.
She will next face another Russian, 22nd seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who beat Francesca Schiavone 7-5 6-3.
