Wozniacki Blasts Tour for Being Forced to Play Rogers Cup

TORONTO — Fourth seed Caroline Wozniacki dropped her opening match at the

Rogers Cup on Wednesday but did not go quietly blasting the WTA Tour for forcing her to play in the tournament without proper preparation.

Wozniacki, playing with a heavily strapped left calf, squandered a 5-2 first set lead before tumbling out of the tournament with a 7-5 7-5 loss to Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic, saved her best shots for the Tour.

"I haven't practiced for a week because I wanted to make sure that I was 100 percent healthy," said the former world number one.
