World number one Caroline Wozniacki insists she still deserves to be top of the rankings even though the Dane endured another Grand Slam flop at Wimbledon on Monday. Wozniacki lost her only Grand Slam final against Kim Clijsters at the 2009 US Open and she failed at the French Open recently, losing in the third round against Daniela Hantuchova. “I just need to look forward and go back on the practice court. I still have Bastad before I take a little break and get ready for the hard-court season. I’m looking forward to the challenge there.” “I started well but in the second set I didn’t get too many deep returns in, and then she had the advantage from there,” Wozniacki said. But I had so many chances in the third set I should have taken and I didn’t. Then you lose the match. “It’s kind of disappointing because when you’re up 2-0 with a break and have a lot of breakpoints that you don’t convert, that’s kind of your own fault. “She just goes for everything. She doesn’t hold back so if it goes in, it’s tough.” Former French Open semi-finalist Cibulkova added fuel to the debate over Wozniacki as she admitted the Dane doesn’t measure up to the likes of Serena Williams, a former number one who has won 13 Grand Slam titles. “It’s not easy when you are compared to Serena Williams, because she was the best player and she was really tough to play. She had so many Grand Slam titles,” she said. “This is a big tournament. It’s a really big result and I would rank it in my top five wins,” she said. “After the first set I realised I had to go for my shots 100 percent or I have no chance. I had to go all or nothing.
