Zhang demolishes Wozniacki after initial deficit, confidently moves into the fourth round of Wimbledon

Zhang Shuai had never before been past the first round of Wimbledon, but this fortnight the Chinese is through to the fourth round, following up her straight-set victories over Caroline Garcia and Yanina Wickmayer with a convincing 6-4 6-2 triumph over Caroline Wozniacki.

The 14th-seeded Wozniacki opened the third-round match with a 4-0 40-15 lead, having two break points to go 5-0 up, but Zhang then won 14 out of the next 12 games, as her aggressive game started producing results. From 0-4 Zhang raced to 6-4 in 25 minutes, benefiting from Wozniacki’s horrible break point conversion.
