Caroline Wozniacki has failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Sydney International after losing 4-6 6-7(7-9) to Lucie Safarova in the second round of the tournament.
The Danish pro, who recently got engaged to former world number one golfer Rory McIlroy, lost a vital break of serve in the opening set.
The 23-year-old was forced to respond after going a set down and the sixth seed did just that by pushing the second to a tie-break.
Despite taking a three-point lead in the decider, Wozniacki relinquished her advantage and lost the tie-break 9-7, resulting in Safavora's progression into the final eight.
