Wozniacki, who ousted No. 3 seed Marion Bartoli in the quarters, had an easy match against No. 7 seed Alize Cornet, after beating the Frenchwoman in straight sets, 75 64.
"I knew if I let her play her game and her decide the points, it would be difficult for me to win," Wozniacki said. "I was just running and it didn't pay off, so I was just thinking I had to step into the court and play my own game, and if it worked out, it worked out. I didn't have anything to lose anyways."
"I'm disappointed but it's okay because I think I played a good match," said Cornet, who was playing her first hardcourt semifinal on the Tour. "I didn't have an easy draw. I beat Vaidisova, Srebotnik and Hantuchova, three really big matches for me. So I'm really confident for the US Open. The most important thing is to be ready physically, but mentally everything is okay."
Woznaicki won he
r first career tournament recently in Stockholm, Sweden, and she was the first Dane to do so in singles."It has been a really good month for me," Wozniacki said. "I won my first tournament in Stockholm then went over to the Olympics. Even though I lost in the third round to Dementieva it was a great experience for me there. I got to know all the other athletes from my country. The team spirit and the opening ceremony, it was just an amazing experience that you don't get every day."
Wozniacki will face either No. 1 seed Anna Chakvetadze or her semifinal opponent Amelie Mauresmo, who has had a great run here in New Haven.
