Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark advanced to the semifinals on Thursday, defeating Ana Ivanovic of Serbia 6-3, 7-5. Her strategy was to use the speed of the DecoTurf II courts to her advantage.

“Here it’s a bit faster and the balls go through the air faster and well. In Doha it was a little bit heavy for some reason and the court was a bit slower.”

Though Wozniacki had not played as many matches on the DecoTurf courts as her opponent prior to their game, she quickly became comfortable with the consistent speed of play.

Wozniacki will play the winner of the match between Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia and Julia Goerges of Germany on Friday.

Team captain Ayumi Morita led the win for Japan in their World Group II tie match against Slovenia on Sunday.

Aiming to keep the ball low and fast was Morita’s strategy for defeating Slovenia’s Polona Hercog.

“I know that she doesn’t like low and fast balls, and the court is fast here so I just tried to play aggressively.”

Using DecoTurf’s custom-tailored consistent speed of play to her advantage, Morita was able to drive the ball fast and low, mix up her serve and play aggressively to seal the win for her country.

“I’m so happy with the way I played today and finally Japan won 3-0.”
