Caroline Wozniacki takes 3 sets to reach quarterfinals
Sponsors
Caroline Wozniacki, the top-seeded woman at the U.S. Open, last night was like deja vu.
After losing the first set to No. 15 Svetlana Kuznetsova in their fourth-round match and trailing 4-1 in the second, she rallied to win, 6-7 (6), 7-5, 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals, the exact same scenario that unfolded in Flushing two years ago.
In the same round in 2009, Wozniacki lost the first set to Kuznetsova, 6-2, and was down 4-1 in the second before winning, 2-6, 7-6, 7-6. That was fresh in her mind as she made her comeback last night.

Garrett Richards activated and moved to Angels bullpen
Sponsors
Garrett Richards, who made two starts in August before suffering a right groin strain, was activated off the disabled list Monday and moved to the bullpen, where the Angels believe the hard-throwing right-hander could have more impact than he would in the rotation.
With Fernando Rodney struggling to find the strike zone and fellow veteran Hisanori Takahashi unable to find much consistency, the list of relievers Manager Mike Scioscia trusts in the late innings of games in which the Angels have narrow leads has been reduced to three: Jordan Walden, Scott Downs and Bobby Cassevah.

Andy Murray beats Robin Haase
Sponsors
Fourth seed Murray played so poorly for two hours that an upset seemed likely.
But the Briton held on and edged through a dramatic final set after letting a 4-0 lead disappear.
Andy Murray had predicted that Haase would come out firing and the Dutchman confirmed that on the very first point with a blistering forehand winner.
Haase deservedly got the first break at 3-3 and was completely untroubled on serve until the time came for him to close out the set, when he tightened up and slipped to 0-40 before firing a forehand long.
At last, Murray looked to have gained the upper hand as he moved 4-1 clear in the tie-break but a desperate passage of play handed Haase five points in a row, and the world number 41 converted his second set point.
Nineteen unforced errors told the story of Murray's first set and things got a whole lot worse as he dropped serve at the start of the second, before failing to convert from 15-40 in the next game.
Britain's Andy Murray kept his US Open hopes alive as he recovered from two sets down to beat Dutchman Robin Haase in the second round.
