Top seed Caroline Wozniacki is unfazed about the prospect of facing former champion Maria Sharapova in the fourth round of the US Open (Wozniacki 4/1 outright).

The Dane was in imperious form on Saturday as she blew away Yung-Jan Chan of Chinese Taipei 6-1 6-0.

It meant Wozniacki has dropped just three games in three matches so far, and she is relishing the prospect of what she said would be a ‘great victory’ over Sharapova.

The Russian ace dismissed poor teenager Beatrice Capra without dropping a game in her match, leaving Venus Williams as the only American woman left in the draw.

Wozniacki, who lost in last year’s final, has won three of her last four tournaments and has a win-loss record of 17-1 since Wimbledon.

She said: “I think I’ve shown I belong where I am and I’m just happy to be through to the fourth round.

“For me, it’s just about winning the matches. I think it’s up to everyone else to judge what I’ve shown or not shown. For me it’s just important that I’ve won these three matches pretty comfortably.

“It would be a great victory (against Sharapova) but when I go out there I really don’t think too much about who is on the other side. I just want to do what I’m supposed to do out there on court, and I want to win.

“It really doesn’t matter who’s on the other side. I feel like I’m playing well, so hopefully I can just keep my roll. I don’t feel the pressure. My time will come. If it won’t come now, it will come tomorrow, so I’m not afraid of that.”

Asked about facing Wozniacki in the last 16, Sharapova (9/2 outright) added: “She is playing some of the best tennis of her career, a finalist here last year so very familiar with this court so it will be tough, but I’m looking forward to it.”
