NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Simona Halep says her dream is to someday become a top-10 tennis player, and she is doing her part this summer to help make that happen. Halep beat Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 7-5 on Friday night to reach the New Haven Open final. The 21-year-old Romanian will be seeking her fourth title after winning three times on the WTA Tour since June. "I have big confidence in me now," she said. She will face defending champion Petra Kvitova. The Czech star beat countrywoman Klara Zakopalova 6-0, 6-1 for her eighth consecutive match victory in New Haven. Halep, currently ranked 23rd, is now 28-5 in her last 33 matches (30-5 counting qualifying matches). It is a string that began in Rome in May when she was ranked 64th in the world and made the semifinals. She expects her rank to rise to 21 on Monday. "Ill try to do my best to get in top 20, because its first step," she said. "Its very hard, I know, but I have to keep going my hard work and to try to be in top 20 as soon as possible. "Its my dream." Halep got the first of her six services breaks in the first game of the match, and appeared to be in complete control when she broke the Danish star again to open the second set. But Wozniacki kept fighting. She broke back, and did it again after dropping her serve to Halep in the sets fifth game. Halep kept the pressure on and broke again to take a 6-5 lead, using a bit of luck. The 21-year-old mishit a return that floated high and into the middle of the court. But Wozniacki hit what appeared to be an easy overhead smash well wide. "I dont know how I missed that by like a mile," she said. "It was a pretty crucial point as well, so pretty disappointing there." Wozniacki saved two match points to get to deuce on Haleps final serve, but the Romanian put a backhand cross court for a winner to take the match. The loss was just the second for Wozniacki in 25 career matches in New Haven, where she is a four-time champion. Her only other defeat came a year ago when she was forced to retire from the semifinals because of a knee injury. "Its a very like empty feeling in a way, because Ive been so used to winning here and I love winning," she said. Halep won her three titles in Europe, two on clay and another on grass. Her best previous showing in the U.S. Open series was in Cincinnati, where she was eliminated in the quarterfinals last week. "But now Im playing really good on hard (courts), too," she said. "So I dont know which one is my favourite. I like all the surfaces now." Kvitova, who had fought through three, three-set matches en route to her semifinal, dominated Zakopalova in a meeting that lasted only 50 minutes. "I played my game, finally today," she said. "I played aggressively. I can improve my serve. I had some double faults again, so I can still improve." That might be hard for Zakopalova to believe. Kvitova won 53 of the 76 points in the match. Zakopalova earned only three points in the second set before holding serve and closing to 5-1 with her only game win. She finished with 10 points in the set. Kvitova ended things on her serve, striking an ace on the final point. "She just played fantastic tennis today without any mistakes," Zakopalova said. "I think everything was working for her, so I have to just congratulate her, wish her good luck because she was the better player today, for sure." Kvitova, the 2011 Wimbledon champion, has never won the same tournament in consecutive years. She would like to add that feat to an already impressive resume. "I have one more new motivation then," she said. Cheap Jordan 12 Canada .

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- FIFA has acknowledged being embarrassed by a security lapse that let ticketless Chile fans rampage into the Maracana Stadium. Fences have been breached by fans at both World Cup matches staged at the countrys biggest and most prestigious stadium which hosts the final on July 13. "It is embarrassing," FIFA director of security Ralf Mutschke said Thursday, one day after 88 ticketless Chile fans broke into the sold-out venue ahead of their teams 2-0 win against Spain. Mutschke said security operations at the World Cup must "improve in order that this will not happen again." Brazilian authorities said the fans were detained after smashing their way through a perimeter wire fence into the stadium media centre. Fans stampeded through the media working area, knocking down partition walls while trying to gain access to the pitch area. They were detained by some of the 1,000-plus private security officers on match duty. "We have to protect the media, theres no doubt about it -- we also have to protect the (other) fans," Mutschke said at a news briefing to address the incident. Chiles consul general in Rio, Samuel Ossa, told reporters that the fans will be arrested if they do not leave Brazil within 72 hours and would likely have to spend time in jail while Brazilian authorities go through a process to deport them. The total number of those detained and released was 90 because a Bolivian and a Colombian were with the group of Chileans, he said. "Theyre getting off easy," Ossa said. "They were not criminals. They are people who overstepped their passion and made a mistake and have to pay for it." But the president of Chiles football federation -- which could be disciplined by FIFA over the incident -- said the Chileans fans who invaded the stadium could face sanctions after they get home. "The large majority of Chilean faans show excellent, exemplary behaviour that was marred by .dddddddddddd.. so-called fans," Sergio Jadue said Thursday at the teams training camp near Belo Horizonte. "We dont want these kinds of people at our fields." Four days earlier, at least 10 Argentina fans were detained in Rio after jumping fences to try to see their team play last Sunday in another sold-out match against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Chilean fan Luis Galvez said his group of friends without tickets got past four security lines until being stopped outside the stadium. "There were a lot of rumours going around that it was easy to get in," said Galvez, a 29-year-old physical therapist. He described the break-in as an embarrassment. "Its one thing to try and get in without a ticket and quite another to get in a fight with security and start destroying things," he said. FIFA and the local organizing committee plan to announce improved security measures Friday. "Operational procedures are being reassessed and definitely you will see a difference in the next event," Hilario Medeiros, security manager for Brazilian organizers, said through a translator. The Maracana hosts Belgium vs. Russia on Sunday, the third of seven matches there. Security issues have been an issue at other World Cup venues, with stadium staff failing to arrive for work in Brasilia last Sunday and on Tuesday in Fortaleza, where Brazil played Mexico. Medeiros said the Maracana was fully staffed Wednesday with 1,037 security workers. "We knew that this was a high risk operation," Medeiros said. Mutschke said other aspects of the security plan worked well at the airport-style security checks. "There was a lot of butterfly knives seized by mag and bag. There was tables full of pyrotechnics and firecrackers," Mutschke said. "The stewards did a good job despite the incident." ' ' '
