Career
2008
In July, Wozniak won the first WTA singles title of her career at the Bank of the West Classic at Stanford, California, defeating an injured sixth seed Marion Bartoli of France 7–5, 6–3 in the final. She was a qualifier to the tournament, so she had to win 3 qualifying matches and then 5 main draw matches in nine days, including a 6–2, 3–1 (retired) semifinals win over top seed Serena Williams on the way to the title. Wozniak became the first Canadian in 20 years to win a WTA singles title.[1] The victory vaulted her WTA singles ranking from 85 to 45 in the world.
